Yes I thought about this idea. For example it would be nice to have a .fpga section in the ELF files and one could load images as part of OS file execution. It is a nice idea and I would try to push this as a technology if I was Xilinx or Altera. But it requires that momentum to become a reality because this creates a new model and ABI for software - one that doesn't exist today.
