I finally made the ioctls work modifying the arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c.
But now, the thing will not enter EPP mode (as the timeout bit of the epp
status register remains set).
I have noticed that the super io chip has changed on the AXe and is now a
ns97307 and not a ns87303 as the
ns87303.h suggests. Is it known to have any influence?
