Actually, I don't mind the USB stuff staying where it is. There are
always two places for a driver to be: with other drivers for the bus it
lives on (like USB), or with other drivers that have the same interface
(like V4L or SCSI or Input ...).

I don't think there is anything like 'cvs move'. And if you do 'mv; cvs
remove; cvs add', you lose versions and the whole history of the file.
