DME1737 / A8000 support

Jean,

I managed to pick up the datasheet for the SMSC DME1737 (also known as Asus
A8000) :-) I took a quick glance and the HW monitoring logic is definitely
an LM85 clone. Even the register descriptions are sometimes copied
word-to-word. There are a few differences though:
- additional voltage and fan inputs
- additional pwm outputs
- 12bit temp and voltage resolution
- advanced configuration settings

I was wondering if it makes more sense to create a new driver than adding
support to the current LM85 driver. I fear that support for the DME1737
would clobber up the LM85 driver even more than it is already. But a
separate driver would have some significant code redundancy with the LM85.

I'd prefer to write a new driver, then I could also 'fix' some coding style
issues...
