That'd be like putting all the pci drivers in the same dir; I think
it's the wrong grouping. The error is that the USB drivers are in
/sys/dev/usb, we spent a while moving drivers out of /sys/dev/pci
and /sys/i386/isa so I don't think grouping by bus in /sys/modules
is any more sensible.

It makes more sense to shift them around into /sys/modules/ether or
/sys/modules/disk, which is why /sys/modules/sound is somewhat
acceptable.
