PATCH 1/1 : R52x0 -> RM52xx

Attached is a minor cosmetic patch for 2.6 that just changes menuconfig to show the RM52xx CPU by the name it's known by on Systems that use it (Cobalt (RM5231), O2 RM5200).

It's a really minor thing, but afaict, it doesn't look to be incorrect.

The CPU core is originally a QED (today PMC-Sierra) core but there are licenses are selling it too such as IDT. I'm not sure if all of them are using the RM prefix or not but I usually stick to whatever the original name was.

FWIW (not much) there was an RM5230, RM5260, RM5231 and RM5261 - pretty much the same from a software point of view (the '3' and '6' stand for the external bus width 32- vs 64-bit). There was an RM5270, too, to which you could bolt an external L2 cache. So RM52xx is really quite a good name...
