SubjectRe: Talking to parallel port in 2.6 kernel without using parport

About two years ago (~2.6.18) I wrote one driver that needed exclusive
access to the parallel port and, like this time, Alan Cox guided me
(thank you Alan!). If you want, you can check the code at
drivers/auxdisplay/ks0108.c. I tested it as of 2.6.25 and worked fine,
so it could be a good reference for you. In addition, the code is
pretty straightforward!

Right, I haven't had to change the code since 2.6.18.
