The attached patch adds SMBus host support to the emulated PIIX4 power
management device (acpi.c), and adds an emulated serial EEPROM device
accessible via the SMBus interface.
I tried to follow the Intel 82371AB spec for the SMBus support; the
interface should be generic enough to implement a variety of
SMBus-compliant devices.
The EEPROM device can use a file for persistent storage
(smbus_eeprom.bin in the BIOS directory). If this file does not exist,
a temporary buffer is used instead.
I tested the devices with Linux using the i2c-piix4 host driver and
the eeprom chip driver. I have no idea what will happen on other OSes.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

OK, but avoid using mmap() in the device code. Moreover, files in the
BIOS directory are not writable.
