One thing I've always been wondering about: are there any relevant
users running ICC compiled kernels for real, or is this just an academic
exercise?

Those distros I know about, and in at least one case I can assert this
quite authoritatively ;-), never will go down this path, so I assume
there must be some adventurous users running home grown kernels?
