It would be focused primarily on embedded processors (all 32-bit & 64-bit processors), likely not 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers (although there do exist some 32-bit processors that are categorized as microcontrollers nowadays).  The bigger question would be GPUs & DSPs.

I'd aim for something like QNX, a µ-kernel with built in distribution of
tasks over the network.
