I will rebase them and slice 'em in smaller pieces.

Unfortunately this is a major rework so there is no way one can make small
patches really independent. Changes to include/i2c.h, e.g. make the entire
old code uncompilable so they only make sence together with some other parts
that constitute the core of the new code. Everything else is much easier
when the core is in.
