That's too complicated a solution. Linux has had excellent boot time detection of hardware for years now- dock your phone in the desktop chassis, hit reboot, the OS gets loaded from the phone's storage and runs on the tower's CPU and GPU.

Why even reboot? Treat the dock as a hot-pluggable processor: dock your device and the OS can migrate processes to the dock's faster processor.

Mostly because it's simpler- hot pluggable processors offer more and more varied ways of shotgunning your feet.
