"Core" is not very descriptive IMHO, what about staying close to the structure
of the SDL library documentation (e.g. http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/):

    Multimedia.SDL.General
    Multimedia.SDL.Video
    Multimedia.SDL.Window
    Multimedia.SDL.Events
    ...

and using

    Multimedia.SDL

as a collector module for everything below it?

Cheers,
    S.
