392a325c43 Platform: OLPC: add a stub to drivers/platform/ for the OLPC EC driver
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.

41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
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>
