OK.

Where do you plan on moving the 3 other drivers?

Today, these drivers (visorhba, visorinput, and visornic)
are all under the staging/unisys directory

visorbus ->	drivers/visorbus
visorhba ->	?
visorinput ->	?
visornic ->	?

Perhaps all these, including visorbus, should be under virt/
or perhaps visorbus should be under virt/ and the others
under drivers/virt/
