Mmh, right at root of the kernel add-ons directory, I suppose. Unless one
finds enough modules with similar scope, then a subdir would be nice. So,
if the disk device manager was a module (I don't see much sense in making
it one -- don't know why I ever started the disk scanner as a module), it
could go together with the RAID manager into a common dir, like `disk',
`storage', or something like that.

It would also be possible to create a `misc' directory, where to put any
module that doesn't fit into any other dir.
