I'm just curious -- what do you hope to learn from this program? Do you think it will tell us more than what actually running _STA did?
The best solution I can think of would be to have a parameter like "parport.nopnp" that made parport just probe the legacy addresses, and document that you might need that on machines with broken ACPI firmware. But I'm a little afraid to touch parport_pc.c.
