Seems not.

Note the [disabled], this is the problem. The I/O region is disabled,
thus the driver fails to read anything meaningful from it. I think I
fixed this in 2.6.18, with this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commi
tdiff;h=6dcc19dfbc84b2ea5428711b7a47146b5b1788bb
The key part is the added call to pci_enable_device().

I am attaching a minimalist patch for 2.6.14.1, which will hopefully let
the i2c-i801 driver work on your system.
