Well, currently drivers/power/ is indeed just for power supply class subsystem and drivers. But if the trend is to gather power management ("policy") stuff under one directory, i.e.
drivers/ power/ supplies/ <- former "power supply class and drivers" regulators/ idle/ cpuidle/ cpufreq/ devfreq/ avs/ ...
That would probably make sense, we could easily see the big picture. But if we're not going to do this long-term, I would suggest to stick to just a new directory under drivers (and move drivers/power/avs/ to drivers/avs).
Cc'ing some more people...
Thanks,
p.s. Jean, why am I the last person who discovers drivers/power/avs/? Would be nice to Cc me on such patches; by moving AVS under drivers/power/ you effectively nominated me as its maintainer. :-)
