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. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
