Now there is an idea - a kernel that is written not to optimise efficiency, but written from the ground up just to be easy to program, debug and maintain.
Actually, I think Linux kernel modules address the programming, but work is needed on simplifying the latter two...
I think you can gain a lot of knowledge about Linux Device Drivers in a short time by reading this free ( but please buy ) book:
