One of the good and bad points of Linux is that all device drivers are so
tightly integrated with the kernel. This is good because, you have a really
tight code and really fast performance (I think). But this is extremely bad
because you can't dissociate device drivers with the main kernel. Are there
any projects of making it possible for adding some kind of support for
"hooks" in the kernel, where you could add a device driver for some piece of
equipment without even messing with the kernel? This is not the same as
modules, though, since the kernel have to know which module is which, in
*compile time*. I'm talking about adding drivers to the kernel in
*run-time*.
