This seems to be difficult to fix.

The EC on SMLink1 is connected to "Intel ME SMBus Controller 3" and not to SMBus. This requires the "Advanced TCO Mode" and I guess this also requires the MEI/HECI driver. On Linux this driver is quite new. It needs CONFIG_INTEL_MEI and is located in "drivers/misc/mei/" since kernel 3.5.

ME = Management Engine
MEI = Management Engine Interface
HECI = Host Embedded Controller Interface
