When I first started writing KLD, I had a vague notion that there would be
a simple directory structure under /modules, e.g.:

        /modules
                        pci/
                                ncr.ko
                                ...
                        isa/
                                if_ed.ko
                                ...
                        ...

Including the type in the filename instead might be a better idea though.
