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. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

296 This driver adds support for the ACPI-WMI (Windows Management
297 Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) found on some systems.
298
299 ACPI-WMI is a proprietary extension to ACPI to expose parts of the
300 ACPI firmware to userspace - this is done through various vendor
301 defined methods and data blocks in a PNP0C14 device, which are then
302 made available for userspace to call.
303
304 The implementation of this in Linux currently only exposes this to
305 other kernel space drivers.
306
307 This driver is a required dependency to build the firmware specific
308 drivers needed on many machines, including Acer and HP laptops.
309
310 It is safe to enable this driver even if your DSDT doesn't define
311 any ACPI-WMI devices.

318 This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible
319 ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also
320 support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example). It makes all
321 the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through
322 /proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the
323 display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off,
324 and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended
325 for reporting mail and wireless status.
326
327 Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL,
328 toying with these values may even lock your machine.
329
330 All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner
331 and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid
332 parameters.
333
334 More information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons
335 at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus/>.
336
337 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This
338 driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or
339 something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list
340 available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net).
341
342 NOTE: This driver is deprecated and will probably be removed soon,
343 use asus-laptop instead.

354 This driver adds support for access to certain system settings
355 on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by
356 their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support.
357
358 On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the
359 ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered
360 by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output,
361 etc.
362
363 This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located
364 under "Processor type and features") in several aspects.
365 Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the
366 /proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no
367 power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the
368 general ACPI drivers.
369
370 More information about this driver is available at
371 <http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver>.
372
373 If you have a legacy free Toshiba laptop (such as the Libretto L1
374 series), say Y.
