A lot of what I see happening in the C parts of Linux could be done *so* much better with C++. I'm thinking of an OO-oriented driver model as an example, rather than just a soup of C functions that you have to invoke in the proper order for things to work right. "Want to right a USB driver? Well then just inherit from USBDriver and fill in these functions for the bulk transfers." You know, like that. :^)
You probaly want to have a look at MacOS X / Darwin and its IOKit. Thats exactly what they do.
