Is there binary drivers for 3.x kernel?

Seems to me that kernel-power team is separating huge Nokia kernel-patches and when they are ready, these patches can be applied to the kernel 3.x. (So 3.x kernel on N900 'is coming', but not related to this thread).

I just found that Writing open source drivers for PowerVR is a project on the FSF's high priority list.

It is not providing anything to download, but there are links to read more information about whole topic.
