BTW- If it saves effort, you could access the eeprom's more directly through the /dev/i2c* interface. You wouldn't be dependant on the eeprom module that way, although you would need to be careful not to accidentially write data to the eeprom. See prog/dump/i2c-dump.c for an example, and then look at the eeprom.c driver for the i2c sequence to read a value from eeprom (it's a write [to set the address pointer in eeprom memory] followed by a read, I think).
