a73f30916e ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: debug facility to emulate the rf switches
This code is required to keep the thinkpad-acpi maintainer sane, and
it is disabled by default.

Add a debug facility to simulate an rfkill hardware rocker switch, a
bluetooth rfkill soft-switch, a WWAN rfkill soft-switch on thinkpads.

The simulated switches obviously do not kill any radios in hardware or
firmware (unlike the real one).  They also don't issue deprecated proc
events.

b4f9fe1215 ACPI: move wmi, asus_acpi, toshiba_acpi to drivers/platform/x86
These are platform specific drivers that happen to use ACPI,
while drivers/acpi/ is for code that implements ACPI itself.

41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>
