  • Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
    to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

    The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
    platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
    The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
    They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
    implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
    use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

    In the future we anticipate...
    drivers/misc/ will go away.
    other architectures will create drivers/platform/
