Moving out of drivers/misc is a good idea. I don't have a strong
preference for any of the alternatives, but would probably pick
drivers/mswitch. drivers/switch is too generic, since we have lots
of things that are called a switch already, and drivers/multistate-switch
is much longer than any of the other alternatives. "msc" in turn
seems a bit too short and is not a well-established acronym yet.
