I wonder if we are safe to always skip 0x0c address whether or not
we know the device supports ARA.  The exception may be for devices
that do support ARA but are rolling their own support the hard way...

I suppose it's possible there are i2c devices (not smbus where the
spec says you must not use 0x0c for normal address IIRC) that use
this address.  Does anyone know of any?
