Please move this into drivers/platform/x86/asrik/ or into a proper space in
drivers/pci/

This is pure driver space and has nothing architecture platform specific in
it.

Please sort the proper location out with Bjorn (PCI) and Darren (platform/x86)

WTF?

If you need to share a header file between files in different directories,
what's wrong with moving the file to a proper place in include/* ?

Lack of taste and laziness are the only reasons I can come up with,

Thanks,
