I think SMBus is fine.  Even though the standard configuration of the
Q35 SMBus cannot be reproduced with -device, that's a problem of
hw/i2c/smbus_eeprom.c, not of the smbus bridge itself.  I think
hw/i2c/smbus_eeprom.c should rather be marked as
cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet (which makes sense, because it
has a PROP_PTR).

Alternatively, you can resuscitate the first two patches of
