Patches 1-3 are preparation patches, with patch 1 being a fix.
Patch 4 is the actual change to piix4.
Patch 3 drops the warning about muxed busses.
I didn't feel that the warning only would warrant the additional
complexity it introduces with multiple callers of i2c_register_spd().
If other feel different, maybe a more generic warning/info or a source
code comment would suffice.
On a machine with 32 slots of which 16 are populated only the first 8
slots are addressable, half of which are empty.
Unfortunately I couldn't run a custom kernel for testing.
But manually instantiating ee1004 devices worked as expected,
so the proposed changes should also work.
Tested with spd5118 and two DIMMs.
Guenter, I dropped your Tested-by as the piix4 patch changed.
