Some useful sources of information on this subject might include:
1. Looking at existing kernel drivers (/usr/src/linux/drivers/*). Also check out the "Linux Source Navigator": http://www.ice.k12.il.us/~ben/linux/navigator.html This will answer general questions.
2. "The New Linux Kernel Hackers Guide": http://www.redhat.com:8080/HyperNews/get/khg.html Here you may find answers to specific questions. This is also the place to ask specific questions.
3. Some general info on loadable modules: http://www.pi.se/blox/modules/docs.html
