I think there was some magic for git blame.

Yes, and that's why I'm leaving hw/ aside.

The only problem is include files, which might be moved twice if they
are further refactored (first in include/, and later to
subsystem-specific subdirectories).

I'll try however to look for header files that can be moved to one of
the new subdirectories, and move them there.
