Yay, cool idea to use the slave interface. I like it a lot!

Maybe s/no way/no support/ ? I still wonder if we couldn't add it
somehow. Once we find a device which needs this, of course.

What about setting 'notify_start' to false here as well? In the case of
an incomplete write?

I think we should rather add such error strings to the core if we think
they are needed. I am not convinced they are, though.

Rest of the code looks good. Maybe we should compile all this only when
I2C_SLAVE is enabled?
