IMO the latter makes much more sense (also for "net" case), but I doubt you're willing to change current schema. If you want to keep top level cleaner and avoid proliferation of entries we might have: subsys/sound subsys/sound/drivers subsys/net subsys/net/drivers and so on. Clean and without ambiguities about stuff location.
