this code looks good except I do not see how the special case of
multi-master systems you mentioned is handled.
I think for multi-master a timeout would have to be implemented to
wait for a possible other master transfer to finish before initiating
the abort sequence, or is this too much time spent during init?

Or am I missing something obvious?

(Sorry, no PPC experience here, we just had the exact same problem
with the old uclinux I2C driver on coldfire, where I currently use a
quickly hacked own driver in favor of the completely broken original
driver which did not even return an error on NACK...)
