Many, many things. Most notably:
* At least the bit-lp and bit-velle modules do no detection on loading;
ask Simon whether this is possible to add.
* 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 chip 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.
* 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).
* Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now
