Should this be kept open or closed? I don't think it is really in scope of wasmtime.

I think we can close this, as I don't think anyone's actively working on this right now. It's an interesting topic, and something Wasmtime may revisit in the future, but we can open a new issue when the time comes.

Hello there,
I would like to propose a feature, that, in my opinion, has great potential for making native WebAssembly modules more popular and useful. The idea is executing WebAssembly modules in ring 0, allowing it to communicate via usual function calls, instead of system calls.
WebAssembly standard itself provides a "guarantee", that the given code will be safe to run in the kernel environment, therefore eliminating the need to execute it in "user-space".
How hard will such an implementation will be in your more professional opinion?

On of the projects implementing the idea: WasmJit
The results of using such a method look very promising, boasting execution times smaller than the execution times of native libraries themselves!
