Hi guys,

I've just put out a new patch:

<URL:http://www.cyberelk.demon.co.uk/parport/patch-2.2.6-tmw3.gz>
<URL:ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/parport/patch-2.2.6-tmw3.gz>

There was a Makefile bug which was causing parport_daisy and parport_probe
to be linked with parport.o even without IEEE 1284 support.

Carlos Henrique Bauer has added a sysctl for a device's timeslice (and for
the default). As Carlos puts it:

"After the modifications the /proc/sys/dev/parport directory tree looks
like:

parport
|-- default
| |-- spintime
| `-- timeslice
|-- parport0
| |-- autoprobe
| |-- autoprobe0
| |-- autoprobe1
| |-- autoprobe2
| |-- autoprobe3
| |-- devices
| | |-- active
| | `-- lp
| | `-- timeslice
| |-- hardware
| `-- spintime
`-- parport1
    |-- autoprobe
    |-- autoprobe0
    |-- autoprobe1
    |-- autoprobe2
    |-- autoprobe3
    |-- devices
    | |-- active
    | `-- ppa
    | `-- timeslice
    |-- hardware
    `-- spintime

I've puted both timeslice and spintime at the same level in the
/proc/sys/dev/parport/default directory. Maybe it should be better to put
timeslice in a default/device directory and spintime in a default/parport
directory."

I've updated Documentation/parport.txt to reflect the new entries.

Tim.
