Hmmm, OK. If the MCP61 is similar to the previous models, the two SMBus
controllers correspond to the 2nd and 3rd I/O port ranges. However I am
surprised because these used to always live back-to-back. In your case
the two addresses are completely different, which makes me suspect that
something is different.

Either way, if you want to try, we can instruct the i2c-nforce2 driver
to handle your chip as a supported one and see what happens. Here's the
procedure (as root):

modprobe i2c-nforce2
modprobe i2c-dev
echo "10DE 03EB" /sys/bus/pci/drivers/nForce2_smbus/new_id
(check the logs)
i2cdetect -l
(you should see the two nVidia SMBus listed)
i2cdetect 0
i2cdetect 1
(assuming the nVidia SMBus are bus numbers 0 and 1)

Please report your results. Beware that bad things might happen if it
happens that the MCP61 is not actually compatible with the older chips.
Hopefully nothing a reboot won't fix, though.
