As of 2.1.78 (and 2.1.82), I receive the correct io port but the wrong irq.
# cat /proc/parport/0/hardware
base: 0x378
irq: none
dma: none
modes: SPP

It was easily fixed by:
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7

# cat /proc/parport/0/hardware
base: 0x378
irq: 7
dma: none
modes: SPP

I have an old crummy SPP parallel port and an ECP port (both on 486's) that
I can test with if someone has patches. They are currently connected by
PLIP.
