Autodetect ITE IT87* LPC->SPI translation on all boards without the need for a board enable
Move boards which had an IT87* SPI board enable from the board enable list to the OK list. Mark the Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H as OK. Change the it87spi forced port parameter to it87spiport=... Fix incorrect indentation in the man page.
