Fair enough.  I'm still interested in what you think would need to be 
done to support switches and muxes, from the context of standardizing it 
in ePAPR.  The bus numbering shouldn't be an issue as long as you keep 
the bus numbers local to the switch/mux, and don't pretend that they 
have anything to do with any global i2c bus number that the OS may or 
may not have.

But then you cannot declare devices on these segments and expect Linux
to instantiate them. You'll have to wait for the segments to be created
and only then you'll be able to create the devices on them (using
i2c_new_device()).

Also, what's the point of giving numbers to the segments in the first
place, if they don't correspond to anything?
