Historically drivers/misc/ has been more active via the ACPI tree. (Len being the (in-)voluntary maintainer for those platform details) So drivers/x86/ makes sense i guess. Eventually the really lowlevel bits might move to arch/x86/drivers/ or so - but i've got no strong opinion on it. There seems to be enough precedent of existing drivers/$ARCH hierarchies.
