[LinuxBIOS] Add initial support for intel i855gme northbridge

[Jon Dufresne]

Add initial support for i855gme. This is a work in progress and I
don't expect it to work on all boards, or even any besides mine. This
is based heavily on i855pm.

Use a literal
Signed-off-by: Jon Dufresne <[e-mail]>
please.


Attached is an updated patch which has a complete and correct (AFAICT)
license header. Your license headers were missing author(s) and date.

The trivial files and those you wrote from scratch are now
 * Copyright (C) 2006 Jon Dufresne <[e-mail]>
and some of them are (also) copyrighted by others.

I reconstructed some licensing info from the svn logs. Please let me
know if my conclusions are not correct.

Trivial.

Trivial.

Written from scratch.

Judging from
http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/log/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainbo...
which seems to be the first occurence of any debug.c in the code, this
was written by Ron in 2003, so:
 * Copyright (C) 2003 Ronald G. Minnich <[e-mail]>

Is this correct? The commit comment says "via epia; also yh lu tyan.".
Does that mean YH is the author?
> Index: src/northbridge/intel/i855gme/northbridge.c

Judging from
http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/log/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northb...
which seems to be the first occurence of a northbridge.c which this one
is based on, this was written by Ron in 2003 and modified by Eric in
2003,2004, so:

Currently empty. If you add code here, please add a license header.

Ok, the reason I did not add my name initially was because I felt
since they were based on the i855pm that I didn't hold the right to
copyright the whole file. But if you think it is ok then sure. Also I
didn't know who the original authors were so I wasn't able to add them
to the header.

Thanks for the fix.

And just for the record, this is being used in a casino gaming machine.
Just in case the announcement is intended to contain some info about usage.
