Hooray, it works, thank you:

gta04:~# echo bmp085 0x77 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device
gta04:~# find /sys -name "*pressure*"
/sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077/pressure0_input
gta04:~# cat /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077/pressure0_input
92192

So is there a more correct fix that should go into the board file?  (Or
possibly already has, since I'm still only running 3.2.0-gta04+.)
