It is possible, but no one has tried it to my knowledge.

I wouldn't have thought so. However, to achieve this would require
some major modifications to the ARM Linux kernel, since the
procedure call standard is significantly different between x86
and ARM.
You would also need to have some way of controlling the allocation
of memory on the x86 side.
I don't really see this being practical really - you'd spend a lot
of time passing information between the two processors. You might
as well run Linux either solely on the x86 side or solely on the
ARM side.
