I think there are a few libraries that have optional assembly language
versions of speed critical parts.  But in general I agree with you
that drivers are the place to look.

Keep in mind that every different architecture has its own assembly
language, so if you've fixed a driver in i386 assembler, there's
probably another version in amd64 assembler and possibly in the
various powerpc and arm assemblers.
