during a transaction. It also can detect a 'hung' bus prior to starting
a transaction. It seems to properly read and write to the BT869.
Todo: support for multiple voodoo3 cards. Support for other transaction
types (fairly simple). Use code as a start for a better algo-bit
adapter template? Complete the bt869 driver.

Voodoo3 I2C notes (or short commings):
* only one type of read supported: type 'byte' (no 'command')
* only one type of write supported: type 'byte_data'
(The two above are more the limitation of the BT869 rather than
the I2C bus.)
* I used the SMBus 'model' rather than the 'bit' model because
I thought it was easier this way.
* failed bus transactions yeild 0xFF, not an error! So, this means
that many drivers instantly latch onto this adapter because all
reads and writes succeed without error. Without the datasheet for
the chip, I can't do much to fix this. (Amazing I got this far!)
BT869/868 notes:
* the BT869 has lots and lots of registers (~50), but can
only read 3 (fairly uninteresting) status registers(!). Right
now all three status registers are read through the 'status' file,
but I haven't decided on the best method for writing to the rest
of the registers.
