Google and Microsoft Cheat on Slow-Start. Should You?

No need for an exokernel here. A microkernel could enable the same thing, since your network stack would be Yet Another Service (TM). This could easily be implemented on the likes of L4.

I don't really see the difference between patching the kernel and patching the privileged network stack server in a microkernel environment.

In an exokernel environment, the network stack server wouldn't be privileged.
