This is correct. Adding process call support to the i2c-i801 driver
would be easy, I even think some developers have done it already but
omitted to send the changes upstream.

However, beware that SMBus process call is _not_ 2-byte addressing. It
is single-byte addressing, followed by two bytes from master to slave,
followed by two bytes from slave to master. Are you certain you need
SMBus process call for the ADM1066? The datasheet doesn't mention it.
All the SMBus transactions mentioned in the ADM1066 datasheet are
already supported by the i2c-i801 driver.

Please make sure you know what your needs are, first.
