Understanding the OS to be able to optimize better sounds somewhat useful to a self-improving AI.
Understanding the OS to be able to reason properly about probabilities of hardware/software failure sounds very important to a self-improving AI that does reflection properly. (obviously it needs to understand hardware as well, but you can't understand all the steps between AI and hardware if you don't understand the OS)
If I remember correctly then a VHDL specification of hardware was also part of the STEPS project.
