Hmmmm... I'm not completely sure, but I think that the firmware loading part of hotplug is a little like what you are looking for... Of course it's not completely free of a GPL part (AFAIK, at least Intel's Centrino wireless drivers still has a real kernel module), but it does seperate the binary version from the kernel module...
