Hmm, don't remember problems other than having to maintain external
kernel modules. Any quirks in the build process is usually easily
compensated...

Or, if from
the get go it would have been included in the mainline
kernel source (after submitting it to the proper channels, etc, etc -
difficult but not impossible. Out of mainline kernel drivers have
always been a pain...).
There are no kernel drivers in MidiShare, only kernel modules. The
drivers sit in user space and are not dependent on the Linux drivers
unless you deem it so .. I did wrestle
with midishare a while back for Planet CCRMA (for
openmusic, same as Dave) and I'm not looking forward to a rehash of
that :-)
I'm guessing the hard-coded paths and the sub-tree Makefile scheme in
MidiShare presented a dilemna?
