That's a tough question.  Generally, the codebase is architected as:
- core: all process management, IOCTL handling, anything non-HW specific.  The drivers here are generally loaded as filter drivers above the HW driver.
- hw: HW specific driver, makes the device work.
- ulp: Upper Level Protocols, the various drivers and DLLs that let you actually do something with the driver stack.  E.g. OpenSM, IPoIB, NetworkDirect provider

If you can say what you are interested in, it will be easier to give you more specific guidance.

Cheers,
