  "LKD3", not "LDD3". two very different books.

  the "challenge" is simply to review "Linux Kernel Development (3rd
ed)" by robert love, and identify *anything* that needs to be updated
for the (hypothetical) LKD4. there are no hard and fast rules ... you
can peruse LKD3 and make note of *anything* that needs to be updated
with respect to the current version of the kernel.

  eventually, there *might* be an LKD4, and if there is, it will make
it a much better book if numerous people have already identified (in
detail) the parts that need to be updated.

  so take on the challenge, pick the parts of the book that interest
you most, and let me know what needs fixing, and i'll keep track of it
all, and when/if LKD4 comes out, it will be a much better book because
of everyone's efforts.
