We've been adding more of the pmc and punit drivers to drivers/platform/x86.
This makes more sense than being under "arch". Thomas and I have discussed
moving more of the non architectural stuff in arch/x86/platform to my tree under
platform/drivers/x86.

Irina, please point me at the relevant context if it's more than just this
