Mostly, this would mean writing an RTL which runs inside a kernel, which means writing routines to handle IO and routines to handle memory management from the kernel interfaces. I think for Unix-type interfaces that would be enough. For Windows, there is the additional problem of producing a .sys file, which would mean some changes to the internal linker.
