I don't think we have enough plans for hw/ structure to create
directories yet.  What we have so far is basically hw/<arch> and
hw/<bus>, so the logic would be to have hw/net (also mimicking Linux's
drivers/net directory).  It's premature to create hw/vmware, we risk
getting a spaghetti directory structure.

eth.c/eth.h sound more interesting.  Could they be used by host-side
code (e.g. SLIRP or a TAP backend)?  If so, they belong in net/ and
include/net.  If not, they belong in hw/ (waiting for hw/net to be created).
