I've not studied this branch of CS since college a decade+ ago. As far as I know, certain elements of the kernel aren't modified very often. Also the researcher claims to introduce new tools that didn't exist before. Again I think if the journal, EuroSys, is reputable, then that journal would vet the findings properly. Replicating people's work is standard procedure. Maybe people need time to attempt that. Right on if you are proven right!
