The USB sub-system of the kernel is mostly generic.
For instance: hubs are auto-detected.
Only end-point devices (might) have a specific driver.

use:
lsusb -vv
from the command line on your Kindle to see what is auto-detected.

Yes: The kernel has to be hacked.
No: You do not have to do it, the kernel does it to itself during the init USB procedure.
