Just as a side note: what you describe is how it was done in Unix;
it's not the only way. For instance, the L4 microkernel contains
almost no hardware drivers at all. Hardware drivers have to be
implemented as L4 tasks, which do not run in kernel space. One of the
main jobs of the kernel is than to translate interrupts into IPC
messages, which are sent to the user space hardware drivers.
