Frodo Looijaard 89e2183261 Fixed a byte swapping bug in both the LM75 and the GL518SM drivers.
Strangly enough, both these devices use a high byte, low byte order for
word-sized reads and writes. The SMBus documentation specifies the
reverse (low, high) order, though. If all devices use the high,low order,
we should change this in smbus.c.

Many, many things. Most notably:
* Check whether the FAN count divisors in the lm78 module are correct
(probably not!); correct gl518sm changed-fan_div_but_did_not_update_fans
* Wouldn't it be better to display all natural voltages for the LM78 chip,
and do *all* conversions through a user program?
* kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL can cause a context switch! Check whether this is
safe everywhere it is used.
* Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
* 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). This must be
done for the i2c modules, too.
* 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).
