ADDITIONALLY, i2c-2.9.0 is API compatible to i2c releases 2.7.0 and earlier,
but is not API compatible to i2c releases 2.8.0 - 2.8.8
due to struct changes.
Users whose systems require additional i2c-related
kernel modules (bttv, i2c-matrox, rivatv, zoran...)
will require additional patches for the Linux 2.4.x kernels.
These patches fix compatibility differences between those modules and
the 2.9.0 i2c release.
A complete installation guide is available at
