Looking for new x86 platform driver maintainer

[Matthew Garrett]

And I think this proves that I don't have time to do a good job of this 
at the moment. It would be helpful if someone else were willing to take 
over responsiblity for this tree - there's not a great deal of churn, 
but it does require some familiarity with firmware and a sense of taste 
(there's about two billion bad ways to implement most of these drivers, 
along with a good way). Anybody willing to take it on?

Hi Matthew,

I'll probably grow to regret this, but I'd be willing to take on
maintenance of the x86 platform drivers. I'm here in Chicago if you want
to take a few minutes and discuss in person and confirm it would be a good
fit.

Thanks,

I've chatted to Darren today and he's agreed to take this over. Poor 
guy.
