Right now sys/dev/sio has 1 or 2 files.
In the future it will have as many as 10.
sio_isa.c
sio_pci.c
sio_mca.c
sio_eisa.c
etc...
I like this better than having
sys/dev/{isa,pci,mca,eisa,tc,foo}/sio.c
Granted, it might be nice to have some reasonable hierarchy under sys/dev/
but so far there haven't been any suggestions that anyone has not had a
problem with. (This issue was discussed a good bit on #bsdcode with Mike,
Peter, Doug and others and we concluded that
sys/dev/foo/foo_{isa,eisa,pci,mca,foo}.c was about the cleanest way to go.
Keeping all the files for a particular driver in 1 place and not all
spread out makes propogating changes to the various files a little easier
to manage no?
