All of these issues about lack of a driver are avoided by having the
driver statically compiled into the kernel.
I'm not sure to what extent it's true of 64-bit hardware, but one of the
big problems with non-module kernels is actually being able to load them
into the available ram ... something to do with BG's "640K should be
enough for anyone".
