qemu is a good way to experience with kernel hacking

Hopefully someone can update the LDD(linux device driver) and Linux kernel books. In fact Linux Foundation should sponsor such efforts since technical book like this is hard to make any profit.

See also The Linux Memory Manager: https://linuxmemory.org/chapters Last update the author sent out was in early July noting that the book is now in editing:

Some examples seem hard to play with, unfortunately. For instance, "Detecting button presses" assumes one is able to build modules for RPi, which probably is not trivial by itself (e.g., requires cross-compilation).

A detailed, hands-on, build a kernel module right away kind of tutorial. Bravo.
