I have to admit I've been falling behind on my lkml reading, but is there 
a good reason for moving all these files around?

I'm often using "git blame" to track down when bugs are introduced, and 
it's a big pain trying to do that across file moves like this.  Although 
that's maybe just due to difficiencies in my git usage skills.
