The drivers are, actually, in the Mach micro-kernel.

The latest version of GNU Mach (GNU Mach 2.0) uses the OSKit framework
for the drivers. If you want to port a driver to GNU Mach 2.0, you have to
port it to OSKit, which is quiet the same than proting the driver to
Linux 2.2.12 since OSKit can offer a Linux 2.2.12-like interface.

If you want to port it for the old series of GNU Mach (1.x) you have to
port the driver for Linux 2.0.36 since the glue code is done for Linux
2.0.36, this can be a lot harder, and less usefull since GNU Mach 1.x
will (soon?) be obsolete.
