I don't have any hardware to test either, but I hope Michael does?

I am also considering adding some kind of multiplexing support to
i2c-stub, so that testing can be done without real hardware at hand.
Not sure what it would look like though, nor how much work would be
needed.

What is most needed now is to port your work on top of kernel 2.6.32
(or Linus' latest) so that the patches do apply and build again and can
get some testing. It is also easier for me to review patches and keep
track of them when they apply.
