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.
