Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i8k - Move Kconfig entry to drivers/char

The source code for this driver is currently located in drivers/char, and
given that this is not an x86 processor feature, it shouldn't live in the
x86 Kconfig.

So lets move it to the Kconfig for drivers/char instead, and just add
a dependency on x86.
