Patches 1-3 are preparation patches, with patch 1 being a fix.
Patch 4 is the actual change to piix4.

Patch 3 drops the warning about muxed busses.
I didn't feel that the warning only would warrant the additional
complexity it introduces with multiple callers of i2c_register_spd().

If other feel different, maybe a more generic warning/info or a source
code comment would suffice.

On a machine with 32 slots of which 16 are populated only the first 8
slots are addressable, half of which are empty.
Unfortunately I couldn't run a custom kernel for testing.
But manually instantiating ee1004 devices worked as expected,
so the proposed changes should also work.

Tested with spd5118 and two DIMMs.

Guenter, I dropped your Tested-by as the piix4 patch changed.

IMO they are doing different things, but I'll squash them for the next submission.
