+	  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.
