If we really want a structured layout of /lib/modules/*, i think we
should do it right:

  dev Device drivers
       audio Audio devices
       block Misc. block devices (eg. loop, proprietary cdrom's, ...)
       char Misc. char devices (eg. nvram, watchdog, ...)
       ide IDE devices
       ieee1394 IEEE-1394 devices
       net Networking devices
       scsi SCSI devices
       usb USB devices
       video Video devices
  fs File systems
  net Networking protocols
  sys System specific modules (eg. FP emulator, ...)

But i honestly think, we should ditch the subdirectories and just adopt
a flat single directory: it makes things simpler and namespace collision
will happen at compile time anyway, so we need not worry about this.

Yours,
