The code names are complicated.

Jaguar describes the CPU(APU) architecture (succeeding Bobcat), while
Kabini (embedded, htpc, laptops) and Temash (tablets) describe SoC
families with those cores.

Hudson seems to be the generic code name(!?) for all FCH aka
southbridges since sb9xx which came to be when they started with their
fusion aka APU development, hence there are multiple generations of
Hudson (3 AFAIK, where Yangtze/Salton are #3).

The integrated FCH for Kabini and Temash are codenamed "Yangtze" and
"Salton" respectively. I am not aware of the previous code names...
The only other FCH name i could find is Yuba but that was never
released because it was cancelled together with Krishna/Wichita.

Martin Roth sent me a table matching Hudson generations with model
names a few weeks ago:

"FCH  Codename
A50M Hudson-M1
A45 Hudson-D1
A55E Hudson-E1
A60M Hudson-M2
A68M Hudson-M3L
A70M Hudson-M3
A55 Hudson-D2
A68 Hudson-D3L
A75 Hudson-D3
A85X Hudson-D4

The last number is the Hudson revision that you want."

Hope that explains at least a bit. No idea (yet) regarding PCI IDs.
