Frodo Looijaard 45e87b2b9e SMBus emulation on real I2C adapters finished
Not tested, as I do not own such an adapter...

Block reading not implemented, as it seems impossible to do with the
currently available I2C primitives.

Many, many things. Most notably:
* Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere
* Change the i2c modules to keep the namespace clean (EXPORT_SYMBOL does not
work for us; many static declarations need to be added; better ask Simon
Vogl first)
* Make it SMP-safe: there are no spinlocks yet. They are needed at many
places, probably (everywhere where global vars are accessed).
* Extend sensors.c with a file /proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips, which lists
all directories under /proc/sys/dev/sensors with their SYSCTL id
(needed for good sysctl access).
* Write smbus_access_i2c in smbus.c
* Make lm78.c detect 'double hits', (same chip connected to both SMBus and
ISA).
* Better lm78/lm75 detection; insmod-time paramters to set addresses
(difficult, because of all i2c busses!).
* Registrate which i2c addresses are used (a la ISA) for each adapter.
* Rename i2c-proc.c to i2c-user.c, and extend it with /dev entries;
or, create a better i2c-dev.c, that understands SMBus commands.
* Write all other drivers
* How to make drivers detect thing *not*; for example, if a Winbond is
present, the LM75 driver should not try to access its simulated
LM75 chips (in this case, simply disable them - but what if the LM75
driver was loaded first?).
* Write a userland-library for SMBus/i2c access (through the /dev interface)
* Write a userland detection program for busses (clients are less important;
but perhaps needed too).
