I'm interested in getting started doing kernel dev.

Why?  Fame? Fortune? It's a chick magnet? You're totally pissed off
because suspend/resume is wonky on your laptop?

If you *really* want to help, just get yourself a copy of the linux-next
tree, build it every week or so, and file bug reports/patches if you hit
something odd. We need code coverage testers more than we need random
patches - and Grek KH will verify that most kernel releases, I manage to
break it anywhere from 1 to 4 times a release just using it day-to-day on
my main laptop (not even pointing trinity or iozone or any other stress
tester at it).

I'd love to contribute this way.
This looks better than sending small code style fixes.
