It was discussed on other occasions, and it "was decided" (sprinkled with holy penguin pee) that such things go into drivers/, e.g. drivers/serial/sunsu.c is Sun-specific, but it helps to keep it near drivers/serial/8250.c, for diffing. If an additional API is involved, e.g. sbus_alloc_consistent, drivers get a subdir like drivers/sbus or drivers/s390. Also, you never know when sharing hits you across the head, e.g. sparc, sparc64, and m68k (for sun3) share some drivers.
