platform/x86: drop deprecated asus_acpi driver 



asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.

Thanks to Julien Lerouge and Karol Kozimor for the work they have
done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus
related drivers without asus_acpi.

	  This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible

	  ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also

	  support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example).  It makes all

	  the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through

	  /proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the

	  display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off,

	  and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended

	  for reporting mail and wireless status.



	  Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL,

	  toying with these values may even lock your machine.



	  All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner

	  and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid

	  parameters.



	  More information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons

	  at <http://acpi4asus.sf.net>.



	  If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This

	  driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or

	  something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list

	  available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net).



	  NOTE: This driver is deprecated and will probably be removed soon,

	  use asus-laptop instead.
