    Using lssuperio, I get the following:

    # ./lssuperio
    lssuperio V0.69 (EXPERIMENTAL)

    Winbond Super-IO detection, now testing ports 3F0,370,250,4E,2E ...
    SMSC Super-IO detection, now testing Ports 2F0, 370, 2E, 4E ...
    SMSC chip at EFER=0x2e key=0x55 id=0e rev=01
    oldid=0x00 oldrev=0x00
     LDN 0( FDC): io=0x3f0, irq= 6, dma= 2
     LDN 1(reserved): Disabled.
     LDN 2(reserved): Disabled.
     LDN 3( LPT): io=0x378, irq= 7, dma= 4
     LDN 4( UART_A): io=0x3f8, irq= 4, dma=No
     LDN 5( UART_B): Disabled.
     LDN 6( RTC): Disabled.
     LDN 7( KBC): io=0x0, irq= 1, irq2=12, dma=No
     LDN 8( ACPI EC): Disabled.
     LDN 9(Mailbox Reg. (8051)): io=0x910, irq=No, dma=No
     LDN a( LGPIO): io=0x900, irq=No, dma=No
    LPT mode=ECP FIFO thresh.=7

    Checking around in /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0

    # cat irq
    7

    # cat dma
    4

    int cap;
    ieee1284_open(port, flags, &cap);
    printf("%d\n", cap);

    Gives me a cap = 2191, coverting that to bin 1000 1000 1111

    Looking at ieee1284.h at enum ieee1284_capabilities. the output of lssuperio,
    confirmed with the BIOS does not match the capabilities from ieee1284_open().

    I should have the CAP1284_DMA (1<<12) (ala dma channel 4) and
    CAP1284_IRQ(1<<11) (ala irq 7) capabilities. But the cap is only showing
    IRQs. Is this because libieee1284 is detecting my port can only do EPPSWE?
