Well, I get the idea of interrupt driven output, but as I have little linux kernel experience I'm not sure how to implement this.
Can you extend you thoughts or if you know piont me a driver which uses that concept?

I'm not sure who should rise an interrupt when data has been flushed. I2c core or the chip itself?
What's more, I guess the i2c_master_send is a synchronous call and when it returnes we know it flushed data. Right?
