hmm i'll have to look into the code (at work, now). In linux the  
device is shown as vt82xxx ACPI and power something.. and that device  
includes the SMBus controller at some IO offset. I'm pretty sure I'm  
using the right PCI device, bus maybe the IO offset is wrong.

It's using the 82c686 superio and superiotool doesn't find any other,  
so I'm pretty sure it's the integrated one. I'll need to check the  
SMBus code path's and/or initialisation code and see if there's  
something wrong.
