There is one thing that I don't like about modules in a subdir is that
you can't select them well.  But, not having them in a sub dir means you
don't know what modules belong to usb w/o using a find . -name Makefile
| xargs grep usb (or something else).  Even then do you put something
like uaudio under sound or usb? :)  (currently it's under sound)

Do you want me to bug compatible by adding a prefix for it?  (like snd_
or geom_, but not i2c.)
