[Prism54-devel] fix for islpci_dev.h

[Dan Allen]

Again, fair enough.  But it does work in Mandrake 9.2 with the
2.4.22 kernel, whether mandrake backported a patch or whatever.
Since most of these users aren't on 2.4.23 yet as Mandrake does not
have rpms for that kernel, I just thought it would be helpful to
mention it in the README that mandrake users will have to make this
modification for it to work in Mandrake 9.2.  If you would rather
not mention it, then so be it, I just thought it might help out.
