The OLPC EC driver has outgrown arch/x86/platform/. It's time to both
share common code amongst different architectures, as well as move it out
of arch/x86/. The XO-1.75 is ARM-based, and the EC driver shares a lot of
code with the x86 code.

create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/2008-12-19T09:42:32ZLen Brownlen.brown@intel.com2008-12-01T05:09:47Zurn:sha1:41b16dce390510f550a4d2b12b98e0258bbed6e2
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/<arch>
