Ugh. What the f*ck is up with stuff like this:

Seriously? "ssbi" is such a major driver subsystem that it needs its own subdirectory at the top level?
We can't just go adding random single drivers at the top level. Now, giving it a subdirectory of its own is certainly fine (there should be more drivers that decide "I'll put my files away from others", but it should be under drivers/misc/ or something. There's no way this is at the same level as "networking" or "pci".
