And just because you seem to be late in the conversation, I do not
plan on changing the file names, they are fine the way they are..
but if we do keep them the same, then we need to change how modules are
named... because for the most part, modules are named by bus/device...
If you really think that the module names should grow the prefix, then
we should change the module names to not include the bus attachment:
32 pci/atapci
37 pci/em
38 fwohci/firewire
39 pci/fwohci
41 firewire/fwe
50 miibus/e1000phy
71 pcib/pci
72 pci/pcib
169 nexus/legacy
172 legacy/mptable_pcib
174 root/nexus
187 legacy/pcib
acpi.ko:
3 nexus/acpi
6 pcib/acpi_pci
7 acpi/acpi_pcib
The acpi_pci and acpi_pcib attachments are a bit special as they use
classes to modify the underlying pci and pcib behavior..
