Since Linux 4.0 the CPU fan speed is going up and down on Dell Studio
XPS 8000 and 8100 for unknown reasons. The 8100 was already
blacklisted in commit a4b45b25f1 ("hwmon: (dell-smm) Blacklist
Dell Studio XPS 8100"). This patch blacklists the XPS 8000.
Without further debugging on the affected machine, it is not possible
to find the problem. For more details see

As per Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface, hwmon name attributes must
not include '-', so replace 'dell-smm' with 'dell_smm'.

This patch splits CONFIG_I8K compile option to SENSORS_DELL_SMM and CONFIG_I8K.
Option SENSORS_DELL_SMM is now used to enable compilation of dell-smm-hwmon
driver and old CONFIG_I8K option to enable /proc/i8k interface in driver.
So this change allows to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without legacy /proc/i8k
interface which is needed only for old Dell Inspirion models or for userspace
i8kutils package.
For backward compatibility when CONFIG_I8K is enabled then also SENSORS_DELL_SMM
is enabled and so driver dell-smm-hwmon (with /proc/i8k) is compiled.

This commit moves i8k driver to hwmon tree under name dell-smm-hwmon which is
better name then abbreviation i8k. For backward compatibility is added macro
MODULE_ALIAS("i8k") so modprobe will load driver also old name i8k. CONFIG_I8K
compile option was not changed.
This commit also adds me as maintainer of this new dell-smm-hwmon driver and
remove Guenter Roeck from list who is implicit maintainer all hwmon drivers.
