The existing code for OSLEC was long obsolete, due to kernel commit 6e2055a9e56e292715f935a85f381e54c1f54269 moving the echo directory from drivers/staging to drivers/misc. Moreover, this driver was recently removed altogether from the kernel, in kernel commit 7f4de1867ef9a787c618e6eb1540b34fef2643ae. However, the OSLEC code cannot be included here for licensing reasons. Thus, we now direct users to the dahdi-linux-extra repo, as opposed to the kernel source as before. Even though the OSLEC driver was moved from drivers/staging to drivers/misc before it was removed, since this project was never updated to use the new path, and the kernel path doesn't matter anymore, we retain the original drivers/staging path for compatibility. Resolves: asterisk#88
