Robert Loves' "Linux Kernel Development" is my favorite for
getting an overview of kernel and its mechanisms

"Essential Linux Device Drivers" from Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran is a
good book for learning about driver development, though i'd recommend
to read "Linux Kernel Development" or LDD3 first

finally there is "Understanding the Linux Kernel" by Daniel P. Bovet
and Marco Cesati, an in-depth view of the kernel core code
