Not i2c-proc in its whole, only the incriminated macros.

Maybe a good solution to prevent us from breaking the dependencies for a
single macro would be to define it in both i2c (for the long term) and
lm_sensors (in some compatibility header file, for the short term, with
the appropriate #ifndef to prevent redundant declarations). The same
header file could serve the same puprose if the occasion arise again.

Anyway, I am simply suggesting this in case we *don't* want to break
dependencies. If we decide we don't care, all this makes little sense.
Personaly I don't care, I'll always have an up-to-date i2c ;)

OK, so the debate is over for this part. Now it's between 2.6.6 and
2.7.0, and I am definitely not the one who can decide. I think we've
been discussing enough and it's time to make our mind and prepare for
the release.
