Aren't most drivers kernel modules? In theory, the goal to aim for is that Maestro is able to compatibly load C Linux kernel modules. Then, whether or not the driver module is written in C or Rust is orthogonal to which kernel is used.

(Just bs'ing here, haven't written drivers in over a decade. What other complexity am I missing?)
