you have two pieces of code, a userspace 3D *driver* (not
application), and a kernel driver talking to the hw, if the userspace
3D driver cannot exist without the kernel driver, it could very well
be considered a derivative work of the kernel driver. You are not

closed userspace driver it becomes questionable.
Again you are thinking general case when we are talking specifics.
