The warnings are nothing to worry about; the methods defined by the 
SMBus Control Method Interface have reserved names, in that they begin 
with underscores, and that causes the compiler to whine a little.

The i2c device stuff doesn't work simultaneously because the original 
SMBus controller section in the DSDT has been commented out. I figured 
that there wouldn't be much use for it, but you can try uncommenting it 
in the source code and recompiling. Look for the device named "SMBS".

Glad it works! I'm still trying to get the alarm polling working 
properly, this looks on the whole to be a good solution.

cheers,
