Run "make psdocs" in your kernel tree and you get the Kernel API in
Documentation/DocBook/ (a slightly older version is available at
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/documents/kdoc/ ). And look at recent PCI
drivers, like the function rtl8139_init_board() in the 8139too network
driver or tulip_init_one() in the tulip driver.
