Every time you feel like saying "you just have to convince Alexandre 
that it's a good idea" it should be a warning sign that what you are 
proposing isn't really a good idea.

In this case, ntdll shouldn't be calling ntoskrnl because we aren't 
going to emulate the NT kernel to user apps. That is the job for 
ReactOS. So yes, ntoskrnl should call ntdll functions because ntoskrnl 
is just a user-mode client like any other app/dll.
