the drivers are modular and can be incorporated in the board specific kernel.
Some of the drivers need no changes to other modules of th kernel, they can be incorporated as is. I could create an android kernel for board as complex as a digital television from a leading manufacturer and it worked. To understand this better, take a vanila kernel and also the android kernel of the same version and do a meld (need to install this package) You can do this even for the emulator kernel.
