Well, currently drivers/power/ is indeed just for power supply class
subsystem and drivers. But if the trend is to gather power management
("policy") stuff under one directory, i.e.

drivers/
  power/
    supplies/    <- former "power supply class and drivers"
    regulators/
    idle/
    cpuidle/
    cpufreq/
    devfreq/
    avs/
    ...

That would probably make sense, we could easily see the big picture.
But if we're not going to do this long-term, I would suggest to stick
to just a new directory under drivers (and move drivers/power/avs/ to
drivers/avs).

Cc'ing some more people...

Thanks,

p.s. Jean, why am I the last person who discovers drivers/power/avs/?
Would be nice to Cc me on such patches; by moving AVS under
drivers/power/ you effectively nominated me as its maintainer. :-)
