I have to rather strongly disagree.  Not only is it quite possible 
for VLSI "components" to be used in more than one VLSIC, but even
if the components are never found separate it still serves
to logically isolate the subsystems and makes for neater, more
organized code.  You'll note the drivers that have the code that 
belongs in the accel section included in them tend to be rather 
messy :)  Furthermore, you may find several different "components" 
that share 90% of the same code and only need a few ifdefs to generate
from the same source, rather than replicating it several times in 
several different chipset driver directories.

Let's not create another heaping mound of spaghetti code like X11 
please.
