[pvrusb2] pvrusb2-mci-20060318 : No decoder present

[Mike Isely]

I just added a sentence or two in the documentation about this (same 
section as where the CONFIG kernel options are discussed).  Admittedly 
this should be in the FAQ.  I'll add that when I next update the FAQ 
(which needs a rework anyway).
