i2c: stub: Add support for SMBus block commands

Browse Source 
SMBus block commands are different to I2C block commands since
the returned data is not normally accessible with byte or word
commands on other command offsets. Add linked list of 'block'
commands to support those commands.

Access mechanism is quite simple: Block commands must be written
before they can be read. Subsequent writes can be partial. Block
read commands always return the number of bytes associated with
the longest previous write.

operations. This allows for continuous byte reads like those supported by
EEPROMs, among others.
SMBus block command support is disabled by default, and must be enabled
explicitly by setting the respective bits (0x03000000) in the functionality
module parameter.
SMBus block commands must be written to configure an SMBus command for
SMBus block operations. Writes can be partial. Block read commands always
return the number of bytes selected with the largest write so far.
The typical use-case is like this:
1. load this module
2. use i2cset (from the i2c-tools project) to pre-load some data
