I'd actually prefer drivers/input.

The argument I had against drivers/input was not an argument against a new
subdirectory. It was an argument against moving the things like hid.c and
the like to drivers/input, like the email I replied to tried to do.

hid.c is something USB-specific. It had better _not_ be a part of any
"generic input layer". The same is true of usbkbd.c and friends. They are
_usb_ drivers, and shall belong in drivers/usb.
