The LSB doesn't say much in this respect. I had a discussion on this a while
back on the FHS list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_idh01284
The result of this discussion suggested placing them in somewhere in /lib.
/lib/drivername was suggested, but it was brought up outside this thread
that this could cause problems for devices that can use multiple drivers,
such as some scsi devices.
