It makes sense to split out the Chromebook/Chromebox hardware platform
drivers to a separate subdirectory, since some of it will be shared
between ARM and x86.
This moves over the existing chromeos_laptop driver without making
any other changes, and adds appropriate Kconfig entries for the new
directory. It also adds a MAINTAINERS entry for the new subdir.

A QEMU pipe is a very fast communication channel between the
guest system and the emulator. Usage from the guest is simply
something like;
// connect to special device
fd = open("/dev/qemu_pipe", O_RDWR);
// tell which service we want to talk to (must be zero-terminated)
write(fd, "pipeName", strlen("pipeName")+1);
// do read()/write() through fd now
...
// close channel
close(fd);

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>
