Robert Love, Linux Kernel Development

Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love is an excellent book covering Linux kernel from an overall design perspective - the big picture. It has a good balance of theory along with actual implementation with code excerpts. Since it covers lots of implementation details it will be more useful for a person who actually does kernel development or for a kernel hacker.

Another book on the same topic is Understanding the Linux Kernal by Daniel P. Bovet and Marco Cesati. I think both the books will be useful for a kernel programmer since it covers the same elephant from different angle. Anyways I didn't complete both the books, but these will be the two books where I will return if I start doing some project in kernel.
