: Agree. Perhaps its time to change things to this effect?

This works well for the new drivers that have their own directory
(except you'll need to make sure that the man pages get installed
somehow in make world either by .PATH in share/man/man4, or by
descending into dev/md in make world).  I don't think that the man
pages should be installed as part of modules either.  Sure, it is a
nice place to hang this hat, but I don't want to install the man pages
every time I build a kernel.

How do you plan on dealing with all the drivers that live in, say,
sys/isa or sys/pci?
