Lots of generic, subsystem level code lives in drivers/ - most
directories in there have a bunch of drivers together with the
subsystem code that supports them.  In the case of regmap the 
percentage of generic code is very high as it's mostly there as
a helper subsystem hiding register map access details from drivers
that sit in other subsystems.
