Document install and loading instructions

I came across this repo and as someone who's never compiled a Linux driver before, I'm a little lost on what to do here. Ideally the README should contain some steps on what to do with these files.

These seem to be like pretty decent instructions https://gist.github.com/scaramangado/4e09031d782cbad8a4446ba101f43ef7 but I'd caution you to be careful at the point where it says sudo rm -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/drivers/video/gvusb2-*.ko which should remove any preexisting gvusb2 drivers (should you have installed previously).

Doesn't seem wrong, but if you delete your /lib/modules directory on accident you're going to have a bad time.

I randomly poked around and got them working ages ago but I don't remember the exact process I took.
