That should certainly be possible as long as your kernel driver
implements all the required kobject specifics (e.g. device/driver links
in sysfs; using the block device layer and so on); For instance the
alternative USB Mass Storage driver called ub works fine with hal (to
the extent that the ub driver works, that it).
