Annotation of kfir/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! cvs         1: This is an evaluation release of a Linux device driver module for the Kfir
        !             2: encoder card.
        !             3: 
        !             4: Most of the files in kfir/driver/ are part of all newer Linux kernels.

        !             6: from your kernel. They are included here for compatibility with 2.2.x kernels
        !             7: which use an older I2C interface.
