The Linux kernel is modular, that is why most embedded systems(where efficiency is VERY important) use it.
The kernel isn't (shouldn't) matter much in terms of power usage, it's the userland that causes most of the battery drain.

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.
As past Maemo device owners we all know Nokia only puts in just enough RAM to run the pre-installed stuff, if we don't multi-task too much. The N9 comes with 1GB, draw your own conclusions.
