I don't believe any work is being done on userspace drivers. If you want to look specifically mach user space drivers you can read the mach 3 Kernel Interface[1]. If you aren't specifically looking at mach drivers, perhaps you may want to acquint yourself with oskit, and how GNU Mach in cvs uses the interfaces in oskit.
