There is code in the 2.3 development kernels that supports SIIG and Lava
PCI parallel port cards. I haven't back-ported it to 2.2 yet, although I
don't imagine it will be very hard.
There isn't really much to it though. If you are just planning on using
inb/outb on them, you can find out the base addresses from lspci.
