The i386 EDD "driver" could probably be shared with x86-64, I hadn't thought about it before. Likewise the IA64 efivars driver *may* eventually be shared with x86 or others if Intel's plans come to fruition. So I'd vote for something in drivers/ rather than arch/ for such shareable modules. I'm open to moving each of these if told where the "right" place should be. Neither are char or block drivers, so those don't make sense - purely driverfs/proc interfaces. Nor are they "bus" drivers ala ide or scsi. drivers/misc is empty and I think people want to keep it that way...
Some ideas for these: drivers/i386 drivers/efi
Thoughts?
Thanks, Matt
