I think that e.g. the ich97 driver should be either in:
src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/ich97
or:
src/kernel/drivers/audio/ich97
I don't really mind which one we choose, though I prefer the first one
(so that the kernel directory only contains the kernel, while drivers
are located at another place).
Adios...
