If you haven't seen it already, Linux Device Drivers should answer many of your questions, and it's freely available online: https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ If you write a template driver, you can put whatever vendor/device IDs you want in the pci_device_id table, and then the driver will match the device you care about. You might have to disable the driver (or unload the driver module) that normally claims the device.
