The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

All ISA hardware monitoring drivers (including hybrid drivers) now have
a hard dependency on i2c-isa, so they must select I2C_ISA. As a result,
CONFIG_I2C_ISA doesn't need to be left visible to the user. The good
thing here is that users will stop complaining that some driver doesn't
work just because they forgot to compile or load i2c-isa.
At this point, all drivers are working again and the cleanup phase can
begin.

Following patch removes EXPERIMENTAL flag from some of I2C bus and chip
drivers. It is removed when the driver is in kernel at least from
2.6.3 and I generally think there is no problem with it.
Also this patch adds SiS 745 to help option of sis96x and it
also fixes nForce2 driver entry to reflect current state.

All boards dealt with by I2C_MPC are 32bit. Moreover, driver simply
won't build on ppc64 - it uses ppc32-only types all over the place.
Dependency fixed - it's PPC32, not PPC.

This patch adds the Intel ESB2 DID's to the i2c-i801.c and Kconfig files for
I2C support.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
