Actually, i2c_ec SMBus driver was removed here:

commit 439a888885c584f7ac8536a43be80475f9eaed71
Author: Len Brown <[email protected]>

    ACPI: sbs: remove i2c_ec.[ch]

which is a few commits after the one above where the
build dependency of the smart battery driver
on I2C was removed.  Before that, the I2C SMBus
hooks in SBS were replaced by standard ACPI EC usage.

The documentation for i801_i2c is stale, of course,
referencing a driver that was deleted from Linux
almost 4 years ago...  My recollection is that the
regular EC driver was sufficient to cover that
functionality -- though I'm non an expert on that area.

Why is i801_i2c needed on this system?

You should be able to permit it to load by using
acpi_enforce_resources=lax but the warning above is
telling you that driver may be fundamentally incompatible
with the firmware on your motherboard.
