The APIs have all changed a lot since the 3rd edition. The concepts haven't changed that much. And given that the in-kernel APIs have *always* been a moving target, being able to deal with the fact that a given function now takes a 'struct foo*' rather than a 'struct bar *' is a very necessary skill for anybody who's planning to do serious kernel work.
