It would help what the whole point of shuffling these drivers around
in arbitrary ways is.  Splitting them up for the actual protocols might
make some sense, as would giving a subdirectory to every non-trivial
driver.  But what whole vendor split, even if consistently implemented
seems like a lot of wanking for very little juice.
