It is common that drivers of a subsystem will be under that
subsystem's directory tree. This allows the subsystem community to
manage pages related to their subsystem and it's drivers.

Should the mdev parts be moved there?

I personally don't have a preference. I'll defer to Alex or Kirti to provide that guidance. It may make certains things like dealing with dma fault regions and etc easier using vfio calls from vfio_pci_private.h later on for vSVM support. It also may be the better code review and maintenance domain and alleviate Vinod having to deal with that portion since it's not dmaengine domain.
