"A recently presented paper has the following abstract, something that would certainly gain the attention of anyone interested in Linux kernel development:
"Categorization of Common Coupling and Its Application to the Maintainability of the Linux Kernel
"Data coupling between modules, especially common coupling, has long been considered a source of concern in software design, but the issue is somewhat more complicated for products that are comprised of kernel modules together with optional nonkernel modules. This paper presents a refined categorization of common coupling based on definitions and uses between kernel and nonkernel modules and applies the categorization to a case study..."
