In principle I  agree, but as I previously wrote backporting this
driver is already a bear. We need to do something here as this is
quickly approaching being infeasible to backport. Even if we don't
restructure the directories I'd still like to see some effort towards
feature modularization and isolation.

There simply is a lot changing all the time, no restructuring is going
to reduce that.  The driver simply gets a lot of churn.

Backporting such things through a bunch of file and/or directory
renames is seriously nothing but asking for more punishment.

That's why I am against it.
