it was done in the 80s at Gould and other places. It ought to work fine. 
There's always the joy of devices but this ought to be workable.

I would sure like it if you did it in a way that could be supported from 
anything, not just OFW; i.e. a format that could be kexec'ed as well 
from Linux or even a generic elf image. This would make the work very 
widely useful, up to and including stuff like Xen. I understand the need 
to get things done quickly on OLPC but perhaps a more general solution 
would not take that much longer.
