radeonhd was a driver born out of some corporate agreement, and there probably
was a requirement was that it ran without a kernel module (this all imo).

nouveau was born for very different reasons, and doing a full driver does
require a kernel module. So to avoid all sorts of nasty special code paths
(which are bothersome to maintain and potentially buggy) the project leader
decided to require a kernel module. This has been the case from day 1 as far as
i know.
