I believe, in design purpose, the os.mkdir() is to match the system call "mkdir()" exactly, the os.makedirs() is a "Super-mkdir", it provides extra convenience for using when we want to create directories. This is the case makedirs() should deal with. A new function maybe confused with makedirs().
I think os.makedirs() should go to shutil, but we have missed the right time.

I'd go with putting it in shutil.
+1 I would also call it shutil.mktree which will go well with shutil.rmtree next to it. Note that mktree is not analogous to rmtree - while rmtree removes a directory tree beneath a specified directory, mktree would only create a single "branch", not an entire tree. I'd imagine a mktree function to accept a data structure describing the tree to be created. If you're going for a short name distinctive from mkdir, I propose mksubdirs.
