Persimmon/Fam14/SB800 DSDT: Split into common areas

Split the Persimmon DSDT into common code areas.
    For example, split the Southbridge specific code into
    the Southbridge directory and CPU specific code into
    the CPU directory.  Also adding the superio.asl file
    to the Persimmon DSDT tree. This file is empty for
    the moment but will be necessary in the future.  I have
    also emptied the thermal.asl file in the mainboard
    directory because it does not seem to perform as
    intended (fan control does not change when it is
    brought back into the code base) and it has been
    inside a '#if 0' statement for a long time.  Removing
    it until it is decided that it is actually necessary.

This change was verified in three different ways:
    	1. Visual comparison of the compiled DSDT pulled from the
    	Persimmon after booting into Linux using the ACPI tools
    	acpidump, acpixtract, and iasl.  The comparison was done
    	between the DSDT before and after doing the split work.

This test is somewhat difficult considering the expanse
    	of the changes.  Blocks of code have been moved, and
    	others changed.

2. Linux logs were dumped before and after the DSDT split.
    	Logs dumped and compared include dmesg and lspci -tv.
    	Neither log changed significantly between the two compare
    	points.

3. The test suite FWTS was run on the Coreboot build both
    	before and after doing the DSDT split with the command
    	'sudo fwts -b -P -u'.  The flag -b specifies all batch jobs,
    	-P specifies all power tests, and -u specifies utilities.
    	Interactive jobs were not run as most of them consist of
    	laptop checks.  Again, there were no significant changes
    	between the two endpoints.

These tests lead me to believe that there was no change in
    the functionality of the ACPI tables apart from what is
    known and expected.

This patch is the first of a series of patches to split the DSDT.
    The ASRock patch was merged before this one and breaks the ASROCK
    E350M1 build (patch 8d80a3fb: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/3050/).
