The simplest driver is probably the puc (sys/dev/pci/puc.c) driver, it has a
lot of the elements that a driver can have.

Some (one that I can think of) of the kernel interfaces are not given here.
The interface to the dma services (bus_dma) you can find at :

You can also look at the ISA section, because of the NEWBUS architecture an
ISA driver is very similar to a PCI driver in many ways, e.g. allocating
bus resources, setting up interupt handlers etc. 

A few articles on www.daemonnews.org can also help:
