Looking at the source for the version of Android on my phone, I see the 
drivers in with the kernel source.

My router (which is not Android-based, but Linux based) is the same.  Not 
x86 hardware, but it uses drivers for hardware that is readily available 
on x86 systems, so the drivers are in the kernel tree.
