I've never used a PCI parport card on any arch, so I don't know what kind of
driver they need. If they use the standard parport interface, then there
shouldn't be endian problems because all the IO ports are only a byte wide
anyway :) (This isn't true with ECP parports, IIRC, so using DMA might
not work. This would hurt in terms of CPU overhead, big time.)
