This would be pretty nice information to throw into some sort of an administration CGI or status CGI.

The iicbus/smbus framework present in -current branch provides generic mechanism for I2C and SMBus support. We're working one the PIIX4 smbus function support (Takanori Watanabe ) which is the function present in newer Intel chips. Now the question is "what are the involved monitor components on your board?" LMxx? W83781? You propose a cgi, a great idea.
