fair enough !

it is a BIG QUESTION
it depends. You have the chance to (hoping you will ) make it easy.

I don't think you will need to modify kernel. I think you can modify just the kernel module and load it. ( that's why they call LKM,Loadable Kernel Module )

My personal suggestion :
Grab two classical Linux books:
1. Understanding the Linux Kernel
3rd edition ( which covers kernel 2.6 )
Daniel P. Bovet & Marco Cesati
O'reilly Books
2. Linux Device Drivers
3rd edition
Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro
Rubini, Greg Kroah-Hartman
( I have to read those books )
