    Change subsys/ to some name that means "not device-specific".
    The point is that the net and sound system-level stuff isn't
    composed of device-specific drivers and the other directories
    below linux/ do not have a bunch of device-specific drivers
    associated with them (kernel, fs and mm).

    Maybe a better structure is needed, but moving /net alone
    would be a big project.
