It's been tried.  It will be tried again in the future,
I'm sure.  For the moment, though, just getting things
working properly is a big enough challenge without
involving the kernel.

See e.g. http://www.winehq.com/site/?issue=178#Viva%20la%20Kernel%20Module%20Idea
for previous discussions on the topic.
