Coreboot - Southbridge 1

I dont know why the SB1 and SB2 are still seperated. That's the way it is and we have to accepted.
For me, it is better to describe it with an example, RS690. It used to be a ATI chipset. Now the ATI has been emerged into AMD. So it is AMD chipset now, located in src/southbridge/amd/rs690. The vendor ID in this chip is still ATI instead of AMD. Relax, AMD has 2 vendor. It is allowable, isn't it?

The Job on RS690 involves only one thing, PCIe. What we have to is to make every PCIe slot work and work in a mode you told them.
