Two reasons why I didn't create the "net" subfolder:
1. I initally forgot to consider it :-(
2. While we may at some future point have other device driver types, are we really
needing to start categorising PMDs at this point?

As for the base driver part, I was viewing that as a something that should be
a separate patch set, since it's unrelated to moving things to the drivers
subdir.

I realise now, I should have replied to the original email with these points
before diving into the new patchset. My bad...
