I suppose you want to have something as a guide to the linux-kernel 
source-code, right?
Well, I haven't found anything like that exactly, but luckily the source-code 
is mostly quite easy to understand, and after fiddling for a while you'll get 
the hang of it.

Here you might find some useful information on books and on-line material over 
the linux kernel:

http://www.linux.org/dist/kernel.html

It is also helful to check the lkml (linux-kernel-mailing list) every now and 
then, to see what's "hot".

The kernel itself is in constant changes that happen so quickly, that after 
finishing a guide like this, you would probably already need to change it. 
Therefore it is the intention to make the linux-kernel sources as readable as 
possible, so that the code is self-explanatory. The code itself is the 
manual.
