If that Champion then plays Kramnik then finally we can have reunification of the whole situation.

As far as I heard FIDE took pains to ensure that nobody of the current players in San luis will play Kramnik, effectively preventing a reunification

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has stated, in an interview with Russian newspaper Sports Express, that classical chess world champion could get a chance to play against the winner. In principle. The condition is that two million dollars prize money are found, and that the FIDE champion accepts the challenge.
