Hate to be pedantic, but Linux has, and always had a "HAL" otherwise
Linux would not have been suitable for RTLinux. I think that
the precise way to say what I think you are saying is:
that binary only drivers should use dynamic linking and source
drivers could use inline.
And it's a fine idea. That's why V3 RTLinux adds the rtlinux elf sections
to Linux.
