If we import the current DRM trunk code, there are three linux directories. 1. linux for 2.4 kernels (monolithic) 2. linux-2.6 for 2.6 kernels (monolithic) 3. linux-core for 2.6 kernels with modular drm.ko and <driver>.ko and two for bsd 1. bsd monolithic 2. bsd-core modular as above The -core are the new ones going forward and which I believe has been merged in linux 2.6.11. So, for now the linux-2.6, linux and bsd directories are the ones to stick with for stability. But things are changing. There'll be necessary build tweaks to select which directories are needed.
