[LinuxBIOS] Intel Southbridges

Hi,

I just noticed, there are two identical intel southbridges in the 
v2 tree:

The southbridge/intel/i82801er part is exactly the southbridge/intel/ich5r
part. Seems like someone did not check what was there.

ICH5R:
  dell/s1850
  intel/jarrell
  momentum/apache
  supermicro/x6dhe_g2
  supermicro/x6dhr_ig2
  supermicro/x6dhr_ig

82801er 
  tyan/s2735


Also, the ich5r version uses nice PCI names like
PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801ER_ISA whereas the i82802er code
uses PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801ER_1F0 where the 1F0 says absolutely
nothing except maybe (guessing) the position of the device on the 
PCI bus in factory bios.

Since all mainboards except one are using the ich5r, I suggest 
deleting the 82801er directory and renaming the ich5r to 82801er to keep
consistence in the naming scheme

Stefan
