     20 years ago I wanted to write a device driver for Linux. There was 
a book available on the net which explained how to do it. A new version 
of the book was published every year to follow the evolution of the 
kernel, but it was always too late. The kernel ABI was changing so fast 
that you had to work on kernel stuff full time to keep in sync.
