The Linux Device Driver book (ldd3) is outdated, as Linux kernel ABI 
changes constantly, although I would still recommend the book as good 
starting point.
Martinez Javier started to port the source code examples to the actual 
Kernel versions. I'm not sure about the actual status of the work, but I 
vaguely remember that I tried to use the block device driver some month 
ago. It compiled without any warning but crashed when used.

Maybe you want to dig in the example code and see if you can find and 
resolve some issues.
