Unfortunately not much information regarding kernel threads is easily found.

This link shows a little example using kernel threads (it is for 2.4 kernel but it should give you some insight):
http://www.scs.ch/~frey/linux/kernelthreads.html

If you want to know more you have to look in the source code:
http://lxr.linux.no/source/kernel/kthread.c#L67

the Linux kernel uses kernel threads for softirqs and pdflush, so these should also be helpful:
http://lxr.linux.no/source/kernel/softirq.c
http://lxr.linux.no/source/mm/pdflush.c
