To pull that off, you're probably going to need to replace your BIOS
with LinuxBIOS, in addition to trimming down your boot cycle manually
to the absolute bare minimum -- which you'll probably have to do by
hand, by trial and error.

We look forward to your writeup about how to do it, on the wiki.  ;-)
