Random ramblings below...

The am2315 will, in theory, work on any reasonable i2c bus, but has only
been tested on a RPIish sort of thing.

The gpioirq and gpiopps drivers should function with any system with
gpio(4) support.  But again, only tested on the RPI.

The si70xx will also, in theory, work on any fairly well behaved i2c
bus.  In particular, you need to be able a zero length read cycle... or
we need to implement the ability to perform clock stretching on the i2c
bus.  Only tested and messed with on a RPI.


Maybe support will appear some day for one of the USB to i2c chips that
exist in the world...  [hint: there is one on Adafruit that is FTDI
based and fully documented], and it will be more obvious how the above
would be useful on more than the RPI.

I don't know where it leaves these with respect to a ALL sort of config
file.  Nothing should really be harmed by including any of them in such
a file.
