It is arch specific, cpu specific to be specific :)

Where would you have this file go instead?

And these patches were posted many times, Felix, you did cc: the arch
maintainers, right?  I don't have access to my archives at the moment...

And this isn't in Linus's tree, just linux-next for now, I don't see
what Linus's tree has to to with this report, but my coffee hasn't
kicked in yet.
