But thats pretty much how all GPU drivers are done on any OS, in terms of functionality placement.
There are arguments that the userspace driver in a lot of these situations could still be considered a derived work of the kernel, and a good lawyer might even convince a judge.
(the userspace exception clearly states things that interact via normal syscall interface, drivers generally use driver specific ioctls that could be argued to be non part of the standard syscall interface).
