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,
