The current i2c smbus alert module depends on smbus alert mechanism
supported by underlying bus drivers. By specifications, these alerts
can be polled if there is no hardware support.
Currently multiple drivers who needs smbus alerts are creating
a new i2c dummy device with address 0x0C (ARA register), by luck
they don't co-exist. Otherwise i2c device creation will fail.
Added a poll interface, so that all these driver can call a common
interface to poll. Even if they polli, all drivers bound to an
adapater will be notified by their alert callback if ARA register
read is successful.
