Yes the i2c driver for the Pi uses the new (linux-based) i2c framework. 
10-bit addressing is untested because I had no compatible slave device.

A detailed report of my last GSOC can be found here:

https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/2015/RaspberryPi_peripherals_and_SD_card

SD card support was started but not completed last year, so it may be 
included on a potential Raspberry project. I can help with that if needed.
