Linus Torvalds is the only person I know of who could be called excellent at OS kernels.

This is silly. Torvalds only manages the Linux kernel which hardly makes him an expert on kernels, per se. But there are plenty on the kernel team who understand how it works.

However, there are also plenty of other OS kernels out there and good people working on them, though it's not a partiucuarly well respected or funded area of research and it's not really something industry is really interested in. They want generally want to be able to write drivers for their kit.
