I don't know Linux's I2O support but if it is something SMBus related you can 
find the following:


# SMB bus
#
# System Management Bus support is provided by the 'smbus' device.
# Access to the SMBus device is via the 'smb' device (/dev/smb*),
# which is a child of the 'smbus' device.
#
# Supported devices:
# smb           standard io through /dev/smb*
#
# Supported SMB interfaces:
# iicsmb        I2C to SMB bridge with any iicbus interface
# bktr          brooktree848 I2C hardware interface
# intpm         Intel PIIX4 (82371AB, 82443MX) Power Management Unit
# alpm          Acer Aladdin-IV/V/Pro2 Power Management Unit
# ichsmb        Intel ICH SMBus controller chips (82801AA, 82801AB, 82801BA)
# viapm         VIA VT82C586B/596B/686A and VT8233 Power Management Unit
