Subject: [FIX REQUEST] Need better management for include/linux/*.h

Hello all,

As include/linux/*.h file count is going to reach 1000.

We need to do some better techniques to reduce the number of files and
add some hierarchy levels like sub directories where possible.

Like atmel is not exporting to user-space we can easily do :

include/linux/atmel-mci.h     -> include/linux/atmel/mci.h
include/linux/atmel_pdc.h     -> include/linux/atmel/pdc.h
include/linux/atmel-pwm-bl.h  -> include/linux/atmel/pwm-bl.h
include/linux/atmel_pwm.h     -> include/linux/atmel/pwm.h
include/linux/atmel_serial.h  -> include/linux/atmel/serial.h
include/linux/atmel-ssc.h     -> include/linux/atmel/ssc.h
include/linux/atmel_tc.h      -> include/linux/atmel/tc.h

Also these files are not exporting :

include/linux/kvm_host.h      -> include/linux/kvm/host.h
include/linux/kvm_para.h      -> include/linux/kvm/para.h
include/linux/kvm_types.h     -> include/linux/kvm/types.h

Similarly for other files, where possible.

Thanks,
