The Linux kernel is modular, that is why most embedded systems(where efficiency is VERY important) use it.
I would also like to know on which grounds you are basing the inefficiency of Harmattan, unless you own an N9, i don't understand how you arrived to that conclusion.
Compare battery life with Symbian and Android and you'll se that Symbian is the clear winner. And no I don't got a N9 (got a N950 though) but as Harmattan is more or less a stock debian based distro it sucks more juice than Symbian. All those servers, (i.e dbus, pulse-audio, xorg-server) suck power so yes I know that Harmattan suck more power than Symbian.
