Well, the reason the 2.0 exploit did not give access to kernel mode was that viewing photos is done under user mode so when the exploit was run, the system was stuck in user mode. If I am not mistaken, a game is run in kernel mode, so since this exploit is acheived from a game and not the photo shell it should leave the system in kernel mode. This is just speculative theory so hopefully we will get a definitive answer from butterball soon.
