Ok thanks Stefan and Sebastian,

I see what you're both getting at. It might be doable only to a degree, but
then it's probably not worth the effort.

Not in general, no.
I don't expect it is, as typically kernel-space code doesn't have access 
to a full C++ runtime. May be a small subset (not involving the standard 
C++ library) would work.

       Stefan
