Not on my box. Nothing like it. Although to answer that question with a
definitive example ELKS (a Linux like 8086 kernel in 64K) has IP demux
in kernel space and tcp in user space. The v7 NCP stack also had much of
the protocol in user space.

So its a perfectly valid argument to build such hybrid systems for
display management too
