The test we do is simply whether the LVDS i2c pins are addressable. That
requires differentiating between an IO error and a NAK, which at present
is only possible using GMBUS. The reference to this method I found in the
BIOS writers' guide, but of course that doesn't actually explain how it
works (especially the significance of address 0xa0).
