Bummer. What is really weird is that you see clock stretching under
CPU load. Normally clock stretching is triggered by the device, not
by the host.

One example: Some hosts need an interrupt per byte to know if they
should send ACK or NACK. If that interrupt is delayed, they stretch the
clock.

It feels like something like that is happening. Looking at the T2080 
Reference manual there is an interesting timing diagram (Figure 14-2 if 
someone feels like looking it up). It shows SCL low between the ACK for 
the address and the data byte. I think if we're delayed in sending the 
next byte we could violate Ttimeout or Tlow:mext from the SMBUS spec.
