My suggestion:
1) create "org.eclipse.e4.ui.ide" bundle to be a home of shared
functionality for both E3 and E4. It may be also named
"org.eclipse.e4.ui.resources".

I think having a separate bundle for pure E4-able IDE features would make sense.

However, I'm afraid some of the features you may want to migrate to E4 are already API and cannot be moved easily.

2) put it in between of the current bundles to not break the
downstream:  "org.eclipse.ui.ide" -> "org.eclipse.e4.ui.ide" ->
"org.eclipse.core.resources".

Even if you move away some features, org.eclipse.ui.ide will probably need to keep direct reference to org.eclipse.core.resources anyway.
