To: x86; +Cc: linux-kernel, gregkh, Alexander Kuleshov
The header comment in <linux/edd.h> and <uapi/linux/edd.h> refers to
arch/{i386,x86_64}/boot/setup.S and arch/{i386,x86_64}/kernel/setup.c.
These paths have been stale since the i386 and x86_64 trees were unified
under arch/x86.
Update the outdated references to point at the current locations.
