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.
