Good point... well, I'm getting sick of typing ib_ :)

Also I'd argue that the e1000_ or sym_ prefixes are more needed
because the drivers are so close to drivers/net and drivers/scsi --
although they are in their own subdirectories there's not as much
mental separation from other net/scsi drivers (eg I often look at
tg3.c and then e1000_main.c, so e1000/main.c might be a little
confusing to me).

Anyway this doesn't matter that much to me but I'd like to resolve it
one way or another before we try to go upstream.  Right now my
drivers/infiniband/core directory has both ib_verbs.c, ib_sysfs.c,
etc. as well as plain file names like packer.c, ud_header.c.
