It miss SMBus Host Notification and SMBBus Alert. They are almost ready but I'm
struggling to put them back to operational state after recent changes related to
SMBust Host Notification. A more "classic" interrupt base solution has been put
in place but I fail to use implement it in my side.
Another patch set is going to be delivered for these 2 commands.

All SMBBus commands are implemented as such. I never try to emulation commands.
Should we use emulation SMBus commands or real commands... Don't know.
