    Yes LVM does striping too (it overlaps with raid0 functionality provided
    by MD).

    Ok, I see your point of grouping them together.

    So I think drivers/sm (Storage Management) would be cleaner. LVM and MD
    are two implementations of Storage Management.

    Even better:

            drivers/sm/lvm
            drivers/sm/md
