Kernel development is a field that isn't very friendly to people who need
tutorials, sorry.  There's a few things like LDD3 and the Eudyptula stuff, but
in general you really need to be the sort of programmer who can figure this
stuff out for themselves, because APIs are *constantly* being changed, updated,
and added/removed.  LDD3 is pretty much as good as it gets, and even that gets
outdated because we're moving along at about a million lines a release.  So
there's a good amount of "sink or swim" involved here.
