I'd like to suggest that you implement device-specific code as a kernel

For which kernel? XFree86 runs on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris, Windows (Cygwin), OS/2, and a few more platforms, each with
a different kernel architecture (and in Linux's case, many different
kernel versions).
(Of course, we do this somewhat on Solaris/sparc, which is why Xsun
is not setuid-root - but unlike XFree86, we've got a very small
range of kernels to support.)
