Hi!

Since lots of new parport backends are available now, I wonder whether
we should add a general interface to the parport, that would allow to
make use of more advanced interfaces like the kernel parport drivers while
keeping the whole thing easy to port to other architecures (like older
kernels, *BSD or OS/2)

I remember that it was discouraged to use inb/outb in backends some versions
earlier... I think we should continue to work with the concept of the
sanei_* interfaces. What we have now is that some backends work with
some architectures and others not, because every backend implements it's
own interface.
