I'll be more than happy to go with the consensus, but I don't think it makes
sense to create a new directory just for this one, limited-use driver. You're
the only person who's complained about drivers/misc. I'm pretty sure that if I
put it in drivers/virt, I'll get more complaints.
I still don't understand what's wrong with drivers/misc, especially since my
driver registers as a "misc" driver.
