The I2C[2] package in existing 2.4 kernels is NOT sufficient
for compilation of this package.
ADDITIONALLY, i2c-2.8.1 is not API compatible to earlier i2c
releases due to struct changes; therefore you must NOT ENABLE
any other i2c drivers (e.g. bttv) in the kernel.
Do NOT install lm-sensors kernel modules directly out of this package
if you require bttv or related modules.
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 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 kernels.
These patches fix compatibility differences between i2c-2.8.1 and
