Change subsys/ to some name that means "not device-specific".
The point is that the net and sound system-level stuff isn't

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.
