We already have 'pub/scm/libs' so I suggest we just place things there:

pub/scm/libs/traceevent
pub/scm/libs/libbpf
pub/scm/libs/libperf

Normally, we do a whole subdir, but that can be unnecessary, especially 
to avoid repetitions like:

pub/scm/libs/libgpiod/libgpiod.git

If the suggested locations work for you, just email helpdesk@kernel.org 
requesting their creation, and please specify who should have push 
access to them.
