Drivers tend to go in alot easier without the architecture discussion stuff. As long as the driver looks more or less like kernel code and isn't hugely flawed there isn't too much trouble. Ultimately broken drivers only affect people with that hardware. I suspect it will be a lot less than 20kloc once it is in 'kernel style'.
