I'm almost afraid to ask why you're developing a kernel driver when you don't know enough about the kernel to answer this question yourself. That said, probably yes if it's a module. The kernel needs stub code for almost every loadable module; otherwise, it wouldn't know how to call it. I don't know of any exceptions, but I think I remember someone telling me there were a few. If it's a userland driver, then probably no as long as it uses standard APIs to communicate with the kernel. At any rate, you'd be better off asking this question on a kernel or kernel-module development list. -- "Of course I'm in shape!
