Remove board enable for Asus P5A.

[Luc Verhaegen]

A first: removal of what might be a working board enable still.

Long story short; it's horrible and i do not want to spend any time on 
cleaning it up. We have better things to do.

Extra blurp still sitting here in an unsaved buffer:
As the author of this horrible board enable, who himself had blow the dust
off of this board a few days ago, and who had to reseat quite few things to
let it boot; let it rest in peace.

No reason to remove it though.

Sorry to disappoint you, I have a P5A and also a P5A-B actually :)

NACK, sorry. I'm fine with improving the code if possible, but dropping
a working board-enable for no real reason is a no-go.
