Not true on many counts: google is a good search engine :):

one thread of interest is:

/I'm curious. How does it work? Does this means that there is no need 
for cooperation from i2c-core to implement I2C slave support in I2C bus 
drivers? Or is i2c-pxa implementing things which should be moved to 
i2c-core? This discussion probably belongs to a different thread though, 
I doesn't seem to be related to bus speed issues at all. "

Finally see the slave implementation here:
