Browse Source 
Clarify from the beginning what these transactions are, and specifically
how they differ from the SMBus counterparts, i.e. the lack of a Count byte.

I2C Block Transactions
======================
The following I2C block transactions are supported by the
SMBus layer and are described here for completeness.
They are *NOT* defined by the SMBus specification.
The following I2C block transactions are similar to the SMBus Block Read
and Write operations, except these do not have a Count byte. They are
supported by the SMBus layer and are described here for completeness, but
they are *NOT* defined by the SMBus specification.
I2C block transactions do not limit the number of bytes transferred
but the SMBus layer places a limit of 32 bytes.
