Just giving this thread a poke. I have been looking at my options for 
triggering an i2c recovery but haven't really had time to do much. I 
think the best option given what I've got access to is a modified SFP 
that grounds the SDA line but I need to find a system where I can attach 
an oscilloscope (should be a few of these in the office when I can get 
on-site).

I can confirm that when manually triggered the existing recovery and the 
new erratum workaround produce what I'd expect to observe on an 
oscilloscope.

I haven't explored Joakim's alternative recovery but I don't think that 
should hold up these changes, any improvement to the existing recovery 
can be done later as a follow-up.
