If Michael is happy with the new directory structure then fine by me.

If you do this, then the prototype should be removed from
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/vas.h

The changelog has changed. The last sentence is difficult to understand
(also please consistently capitalise PowerNV and PowerVM). Is it
supposed to say that PPC_VAS will provide user-mode NX-GZIP support on
P9 PowerNV systems and P10 PowerVM systems? If you respin the patch for
the prototype...
This enables support for IBM Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS).
VAS devices are found in POWER9-based and later systems, they provide
access to accelerator coprocessors such as NX-GZIP and NX-842. This
driver allows the kernel to use NX-GZIP and NX-842 accelerators, and
user-mode APIs for the NX-GZIP accelerator on POWER9 PowerNV and
POWER10 PowerVM platforms. <here is a userspace library you can use>
etc
Thanks,
Nick
