Note the above.

Except that this is not an AMD machine but a Hyper-V?
(And even if that were a physical AMD machine the driver would not be odd for it
as the driver supports AMD chipsets that provide SMBus controllers compatible
with PIIX4).

Mark provided the following information in his post:

My guess is that Hyper-V's emulation of PIIX4 is not complete or correct with
respect to the SMBus controller.  And, as I am sure that Hyper-V does not
emulate any SMBus slaves anyway, it would be completely useless.

This must be true.
