It would help if you would first tell us what kernel version you are
using, what device you are writing a driver for, and what
architecture / system type this is all working on.

ignore_range has gone away long ago. The last kernel that had it was
2.6.12.6, released in late August 2005. Are really you using such an
old kernel?

I seriously doubt this. Addresses 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02 are very special
for I2C, no device can use them. I suspect you are mixing register
addresses (the map of which is internal and specific to each device)
with device addresses on the bus.

No, this is seriously wrong. But I can't tell more without additional
information about what you are trying to achieve in the first place.
