Log Message:
Drop a bunch of useless Kconfig files.

Instead of having lots of almost-empty Kconfig files all over the place,
we now collect all the "book-keeping" information (as opposed to real
LinuxBIOS configuration stuff) in one Kconfig file. The benefits are obvious.

Say we have (at some point in the future) 30 supported northbridges, 30
southbridges, and 30 Super I/O chips. That would make 90 useless Kconfig
files with just one or two lines in them, spread all over the place.

With this new approach we would instead have no additional Kconfig
files, just a list of all 90 supported chip(set)s in one Kconfig file.

For "real" config options we would still use Kconfig files in
(e.g.) southbridge/foo/bar/Kconfig, of course, which are manually "hooked"
into the config system in the top-level Kconfig file.
