I think putting a webserver in the kernel is a pretty stupid thing to do since this means that you either can serve statical content only or you need some mechanism to cope with dynamic content (one could somehow communicate with a userland PHP version, sure, but how much would this gain, then?). Further, it imposes a lot of security issues. There are many very small webservers which are mainly made to serve statical content. Although these probably have higher resource requirements I think the benefit of being able to easily run them on systems with more than one CPU could help a lot.
