Uhm....

not really.

Of course, you could change all architectures bus_space_xxx() installation to
use a function pointer array, but this is not necessarily wise, as some 
architectures currently can get away with in-line macros for the bus_space
methods.

I'd propose to define an abstract "i2c" bus, which is provided by your bt
device port driver, or by something else, and provides two access function
pointers. The chip drivers would then attach to it.

I did something similar for Dallas Semiconductors chip bus:

sys/dev/ic/ds.h
sys/arch/amiga/dev/drbbc.c

[Here, actually drbbc.c contains the master device defining the ds bus 
as well as the slave device code attached to it, but in a perfect world,
this would be seperate.]
