The names mark them as that. Now you can argue, that all the SCSI controller modules do not have HBC (host bus controller) in their name - and then look at the different naming of the other scsi modules: scsi_mod.o sd_mod.o sg.o sr_mod.o st.o Also not very intuitiv. We could put them in different subdirs...
