The device is only flagged with I2C_CLIENT_ALERT if its ID is in the
i2c_acpi_alert_device_ids. IF a driver want to be enumerated with the
reserved Ox0c address, It just have to not put its Id in this table. But
this may break with registering the smbus_alert device as the address will
be marked as busy for this adapter.

I think this possible, but a such device can't share the bus with a smbus
alert capable device.
