I think 4-second power off delay etc. is not so related with SMBus but power 
management controller on PCI.And that should be probed via ACPI BIOS table,not 
PCI probe,though I wrote a patch for intpm so that it install
 power off handler.

I have some piece of program.(Accessing SPD,LM75/LM78)

But general problem is that there is no way to probe from hardware.
And on PIIX4, most hardware monitoring chip have ISA interface and accessable
at port 0x295,0x296.

BTW I looked datasheet of i810 chipset 
<URL:http://developer.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/29065503.pdf>
and find SMBus functional and Power Management functional is separated.
Though I don't write the driver for it  because I don't have it.

P.S. Are there any people to work on audio and telephony device on i810?
