82575 and 82599. Doesn't matter much, though, since they don't export the "name"
attribute from their driver, meaning the sensors command won't find the sensors.
Also, they enerate the hwmon device first and then create the attributes, which
is the wrong order and creates a potential race condition with demons.

Someone who has a board will have to fix that at some point.
