For other stuff such as storage, you will just be a lot slower than a

May be packing data into bigger chunks or making a bigger transactions will help ? I think it could be tuned...
The other reason for having kernel level drivers is so that the
devices appear "normally" and can be used by other programs
(eg an audio device appearing as a normal OS level audio device).


Absolutely agree in general. But if you consider embedded world, it will be apps running under the common framework( 1 level higher than OS, ex. python vm, .net vm, java vm ), so it may be not that critical to have kernel drivers, whereas it would be more beneficial to have simpler drivers for a lots of different devices/gadgets...
