The large majority of those are because you want a subdirectory to make
things pretty.  The kernel can't do anything about that.

But some of them do look like the real name should be changed, like
these:

> KERNEL="zapctl",               NAME="zap/ctl"
> KERNEL="zapchannel",           NAME="zap/channel"
> KERNEL="zappseudo",            NAME="zap/pseudo"
> KERNEL="zaptimer",             NAME="zap/timer"

Anyone send upstream a patch to do so?

thanks,
