Yeah, I think kernel/locking/ would be a suitable place for those, and I'd 
move lockdep*.c there too. (Such things are best done near the end of a 
merge window, when there's not much pending, to not disrupt development.)

kernel/*.c is a pretty crowded place with 100+ files currently, I've been 
gradually working towards depopulating it slowly but surely for subsystems 
that I co-maintain or where I'm frequently active. We already have:

  kernel/sched/
  kernel/events/
  kernel/irq/
  kernel/time/
  kernel/trace/

and the deeper kernel/*/* hierarchies already host another ~100 .c files. 
So the transition is half done already I suspect.

Thanks,

	Ingo
