Flux does considerably more than that -- properly used and customized
it could provide most of the facilities we would need at what I would
call level-0 of a micro-kernel (hardware i/o, memory management,
hardware initialization, basic disk i/o) plus an assortment of
kernel support functions and kernel/cpu/memory console debugging
(and remote debugging), MultiBoot startup code, SMP library,
.... I very much recommend you taking the time to get their
documentation, print it out, and read it.

A Forth-stack-model based multithreaded kernel would not be the 
first thing I would try to wedge under a LispOS - its model of
execution would seem to be even more alien to a LispOS than Unix's.
Care to elaborate on this?
