    ok, this method should work fine. I suspect you increased the parport
    IRQ's priority to the maximum on the PREEMPT_RT kernel, correct? Was
    there any userspace thread on the target system (receiving the parport
    request and sending the reply), or was it all done in a kernelspace
    parport driver?
