There are a lot of other drivers currently under various arch
subsystems.  I'm not sure if a driver that is specific to only one arch
has a strong reason to be elsewhere in the kernel.  If there was a
possibility of there being other devices that used SSBI, it might make
sense to put it elsewhere.  But, as far as I know, this device is only
found on MSM chips.

It seems kind of unusual to create an entirely new directory under
drivers to hold what will only ever be a single driver.
