Where does this file come from? Random driver code added to arch/x86? This
was neither acked nor reviewed by any x86 maintainer and just slapped into
arch/x86/kernel/ without spending a split second of brain to find the spot
where it actually belongs. It's not rocket science to figure that out.

Please revert.
