i2c: i801: Documentation update 

The i2c-i801 driver documentation needs some dusting:
* Mention disable_features flag 0x20.
* The i2c_ec driver has been removed from the kernel long ago. Driver
  i2c-scmi serves the same purpose for more recent hardware.
* Replace obsolete /proc paths with equivalent /sys paths.

In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
