I think the left side doesn't render very well. I'd still like to have
depth 2 for an overview, without going too deep in the innerworks of
each and every driver. Looking around I found there is a lot of use of
maxdepth in the indexes (git grep ":maxdepth:" -- Documentation), so
thought it would be something to adopt here.  Anyway, I don't mind
dropping these 2 patches if people don't agree with me :)
