Why the kernel of course (joke attempt, I am wondering too)

  Probably firmware/hardware.

    It's the type 1 hypervisor it wants to run on top of.

      Then would not the type 1 Hypervisor then become the "kernel" seing as we've defined kernels as "that chunk of code capable of unrestricted access to machine state"?

        The line blurs for sure. I would say it's 'a' kernel. The idea of there only being one kernel is probably a concept that makes for nice layered diagrams, but doesn't come close to describing reality because of the combinatorial complexity of options for different morphs of layering. Sort of like the OSI network layers model in that way.
