Convert from a high-level OOP to Linux Kernel programmer

Question

I need to convert myself from a high-level OOP programmer to a kernel device driver programmer. So i must somehow learn low level stuff ( e.g. advanced bit manipulation and stuff ), Linux kernel plus device driver programming.

This is my new job, so my only option is to comply.

A list of books or tutorials will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
