Chris would be in a better position than I am to comment whether up to 5
x86-based designs from ZII could show up, how about we start with naming
this file zii_scu.c, keep it under drivers/platform/x86/ for now, and if
we have 4 more (or less, whatever the threshold is), then we create a
zii/ directory and move this one (and the new ones) there?
