I've booted Linux in sub-second times using User Mode Linux so there's nothing actually preventing it other than the need to probe hardware in various slow ways, which could be improved.

So this is going from connecting power to having a full system ready to go?

The question doesn't really make sense since there's no "power" involved -- the kernel neither has nor lacks power... but if I understand the nature of the question, then the answer is "yes" -- the system goes from not existing to being at a bash prompt in under 0.3s on my laptop.
