Provide kerneldoc for most of the I2C and SMBus I/O calls.  Add a
summarizing some fault reporting issues which affect the ability to
provide clean fault reports through I2C master transfer calls.
(Making it hard to precisely specify their return values...)

Signed-off-by: David Brownell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

NOTE:  depends on the previous patch which stops the bogus returns
of "-1" instead of real errno values.
