+ This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode
+ of the CPU on the Dell Inspiron 8000. The System Management Mode
+ is used to read cpu temperature and cooling fan status and to
+ control the fans on the I8K portables.
+
+ This driver has been tested only on the Inspiron 8000 but it may
+ also work with other Dell laptops. You can force loading on other
+ models by passing the parameter `force=1' to the module. Use at
+ your own risk.
+
+ For information on utilities to make use of this driver see the
+ I8K Linux utilities web site at:

+ Say Y if you intend to run this kernel on a Dell Inspiron 8000.
