We have been slowly working on moving drivers out of arch/ppc and  
into drivers/ so that subsystem maintainers could get proper review  
of them.

Well #1 & #2 aren't what I would call drivers at all.  I would  
consider them syslib/ candidates.  Hopefully, someone will

If its still good, I would guessing /drivers/audio or snd, but  
neither seem to exist.  I wondering where sound card drivers live  
these days.

Good deal.  Are we really removing anything (except maybe cs4218)?
