Not being a kernel/driver specialist at all, I do have some 
difficulty in believing this.

The kernel has to call some routines in the driver, and provide
some services to it. I find it difficult to imagine

- how a kernel bug could affect just one driver and have no 
  impact on all the others.
- that if there's anything wrong with these interfaces a system
  could work at all,

I assume most drivers are using the same interfaces to the
kernel, and the same services, and that these are relatively
stable.

But I could be completely wrong...
