  i would take a closer look at the samples/ directory in the kernel
source tree.  i am, in fact, writing a number of sample modules and
drivers to be incorporated into an introductory kernel programming
and device drivers course but i don't think i can share them all as
they're part of the official courseware.  but i'm sure there are
plenty of people who can write sample modules and drivers that would
fit nicely in that samples/ directory.
