That is the direction the Machinekit fork of Linuxcnc has been going. They have successfully created a machinekit-hal system and a machinekit-cnc that communicates with it. Haven't used it much in a few years, but do read their email list.

I have been wondering- can emcmot be separated from the HAl and emctask and become a true dedicated realtime stage to control the joints? The shared memory FIFOs could be replaced with like an ethernet link to the hardware RAM. You'd probably load a DMA buffer and just let it flow, there's some minor latency but there's not a realtime requirement. There are cheap high freq MCUs with single-cycle hardware double multiply/add and gobs of memory. It would have to be coded in non-OOP C and I greatly prefer hardware interrupt-driven strategies over RTOS.
