I suggest that you load the FDC driver at the same time as the kernel (in the bootloader/GRUB), as the kernel could have a hard time loading your FDC driver without a FDC driver.. ;)

In case you're using GRUB as a bootloader, check out the module loader support: GRUB can load multiple binary modules in addition to your kernel image, and pass the kernel the addresses of those modules in the Multiboot data structure.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
