solves problem with drivers that have multiple busses;
requires Greg's patch (for kernel 2.6.5?)

Subject: lm_sensors 2.8.2 / DESTDIR / root
The reason for this email is that I always try to avoid running
Makefiles as root, even during 'make install'. Therefore, I
always use the DESTDIR feature, when it's available. Until today,
I always built i2c and lm_sensors by doing
$ make
$ make -i install DESTDIR=/foo
$ cd /foo && su root && fix permissions/ownership && install
The -i flag to make install is a kludge to avoid having to be root
while installing to the DESTDIR, and it's only required because
the files are installed with "-o root -g root". Using the -i
flag is of course not a good idea, since more fatal errors can
easily fly by undetected.
Today, I upgraded to Linux 2.6.0, and tried a similar install
procedure for lm_sensors, except that the make target is now "user"
and the install target is "user_install". I now noticed that the
DESTDIR variable is not used everywhere in "user_install", so I
couldn't use the -i kludge anymore. Instead, I wrote a patch that
removes the "-o root -g root" arguments to install everywhere, and
I also tried to add DESTDIR to all files/directories installed.
(The patch only applies to lm_sensors, not i2c, since only
lm_sensors is required in Linux 2.6.0.)
There's really no reason to say -o root -g root anyway, since if you
do install directly with make install, you have to be logged in as
root, and then the files will get the right ownership by default.
Much of the point of installing to a temporary DESTDIR is that you
don't have to be root, and that you can prepare the installation
by hand. Fixing the ownership is trivial:
chown -R root.root $DESTDIR

Copy sysctl enums to chip drivers from sensors.h for now,
as seen in drivers included in 2.5 tree. File no longer included
from kernel side.
Apply i2c-proc change in CVS tagged -km2.
Partial clean and sort of includes everywhere.
Add i2c-dev.h, as a partial copy from i2c.
Add to sensors.h from i2c-proc.h to compile things.
Remove i2c-isa.h.
Reflect header file changes to lib/ and prog/.

Replaced sys/perm.h with sys/io.h. But then it conflicted
with asm/io.h so I changed it to only use one or the other.
Hope it works.

you can run i2cdump even when a driver is installed.
Add a cat of /proc/bus/i2c to the help function to help
users with the bus number argument.

* i2c-isa simplified, by using the addr field in the client structure,
instead of a new field. This means we do not need `struct isa_*'
anymore
* All clients changed to reflect the new isa code. Many are much
simplified now.

* The i2c package can no longer be compiled as part of the lm_sensors tree
* The archive of the i2c package is removed
* smbus, i2c-dev and i2c-proc modules and headers have been removed; they
are now completely integrated into the i2c package
* The fake i2c.h header has been removed; this also allowed us to remove
the ugly LM_SENSORS and TBD defines.
* A new variable I2C_HEADERS is introduced in the Makefile. This allows
us to install the i2c headers in, for example, /usr/local/include/linux.
* All files now include <linux/i2c.h> instead of "i2c.h" and "smbus.h"
Status: 'make dep' works, all the right include files are found. 'make all'
does not yet work.

I added two new make file 'includes': busses/Module.mk and chips/Module.mk
Frodo- You may want to review the makefile structure to make sure that
the system works as you intended.
Note: The docs still need to be updated to reflect the new file arrangement,
but at least it builds!

Note especially the autoloading of i2c-dev by adding the following line
to /etc/module.conf (or /etc/conf.module):
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
