SBS is needed by some laptops of just a year old (and hopefully some
more years to go), and I've been told even today laptops are sold that

Yes, that would be the right way to go. But it is a longer term

An intermediate solution would be to use the already existing

To get battery readings on some laptops it is necessary to interface
with the SMBus that hangs of the EC. However, the current
implementation of the EC driver does not permit other modules
read/write access.
A trivial solution is to change acpi_ec_read/write

Stop right here. Can you reproduce the problem without ATI driver?
Reproducing it on vanilla kernel (not -FC5) would be nice, too.
A lot of suspend/reboot/resumes later...
The problem does not seem to be related to the ATI driver, but whether
