Philip Edelbrock 3855d1aeea (Phil) Beginning of Voodoo3 I2C bus and BT869 driver are working!
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.
