And in s390 we have:
block/ char/ cio/ crypto/ ebcdic.c kvm/ Makefile net/ s390mach.c s390mach.h s390_rdev.c scsi/ sysinfo.c
So we end up with block drivers in drivers/block AND drivers/s390/block This is the wrong way to divide up things.
find -name arm ./net/arm ./scsi/arm
find -name cris ./net/cris
find -name x86 ./lguest/x86
See above. I have all net drivers under drivers/net/ and for arm and cris they have their own subdirectory. Except for s390 where I have to go finding them in other places.

The approach has been for a long time to move away from storing drivers under arch/*/drivers and cris is slowly moving their drivers. I dunno about um and sh. Sam
