I always use "git grep", which is recursive by default.

For someone familiar with how a OVS datapath works, it should not take a lot of time to figure out which file implements a particular functionality. I don't know how much creating separate directories would buy us.

Perhaps we should add folders in ovsext, such as Core (or whatever name you think best for "needed everywhere stuff"), Protocol (for various net protocols), Transfer (for Ingress, NBL management), HyperV (keep things such as functionality for the Hyper-V Switch, Hyper-V Nics, Hyper-V Ports, OIDs), Winetlink (or whatever name you prefer, for km-um) And, if we do this "move" operation into folders, we would also create filters (i.e. logical folders) in the Visual Studio Project file.
