actually prefer putting everything in user space.
Most of the DRI drivers lives in user space. There is the DRM module and
the card specific module in the kernel, but these don't do much exept
checking the command stream to ensure that nonpriviledged clients don't
do dangerous stuff.
Today the name DRI, "_Direct_ rendering infrastructure" no longer makes
much sense since indirect rendering is accelerated, too.

While still far away from being useable (I suppose most developer time
goes into porting to new microkernels: Mach->L4->Coyotos) the Hurd has
improved over time. AFAIK it can even run X11 now.
