I read that as: the code for the drivers doesn't usually need to be

It is not the kernel that calls into the X server, it is the X server that
calls into the kernel. So I wouldn’t expect any kernel changes to be
necessary.
I suspect distro package maintainers won't consider it worth that
much effort given how many separate X packages they usually have.
There aren’t that many different driver add-on packages, are there?
