Moved, renamed, and deleted files

The original directory structure was scattered and unorganized.
Changes are basically to make it look like kernel structure.

+   md.c : Multiple Devices driver for Linux
+	  Copyright (C) 1998, 1999, 2000 Ingo Molnar
+
+     completely rewritten, based on the MD driver code from Marc Zyngier
+
+   Changes:
+
+   - RAID-1/RAID-5 extensions by Miguel de Icaza, Gadi Oxman, Ingo Molnar
+   - RAID-6 extensions by H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
+   - boot support for linear and striped mode by Harald Hoyer <HarryH@Royal.Net>
+   - kerneld support by Boris Tobotras <boris@xtalk.msk.su>
+   - kmod support by: Cyrus Durgin
+   - RAID0 bugfixes: Mark Anthony Lisher <markal@iname.com>
+   - Devfs support by Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
+
+   - lots of fixes and improvements to the RAID1/RAID5 and generic
+     RAID code (such as request based resynchronization):
+
+     Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>.
