Several chiller manufacturers are already doing something similar in their compressors. The bearings are magnetic and levitate the shaft and impellar producing a no friction bearing. The efficiencies of these machines are far above typical bearings and allows the machines to operate with absolutely no oil. How long until this is available for crankshaft mains? I don't know, but imagine the power and efficiency possible from and engine with zero bearing friction!
