[PATCH 2.6] Trivial: group Intel on I2C Hardware Bus support menu

Hi Grant, all,

I'm all for it, as it makes full sense. I would simply suggest the
following variations (I feel like nitpicking today):

>  config I2C_I801
> -	tristate "Intel 801"
> +	tristate "Intel 801/ICH"

I'd rather say "Intel 82801 (ICH)". It's an alternate name for the
same thing, not two separate chips/families.

That would be /ER if you follow the example above.

While you are there, feel free to discard EXPERIMENTAL. The driver exists
for maybe 6 years, if we don't consider it stable now, we never will.

Care to repost a version of your patch including all suggested changes
that you found relevant, it any?

Note that you have to CC: Greg KH when posting such patches if you want
him to include them in his tree and later push them to Andrew Morton.

Thanks for your help,
