AFAIK the `linux' directory is for console-specific code, `x' is
for X-specific code, and `unix' is for code which can be used in
either, even if it doesn't apply to all Unix types.  A bit like
`misc' but not shared to non-Unix platforms.

I agree with removing the `u' though, those prefixes are only
meant to be there when more than one platform uses the same name
(like dmouse/lmouse/xmouse/etc).

Unreferenced footnote?  Or is it a forward declaration? :)
