It fails for me on one count. I can't ask

        switch(parport_type(x))
        {
                case PC_8255: /* ahah I can do this myself */
                default:
                        slower but parport will do it
        }

The qcam really could benefit here as folks write custom PC, ARM, etc
handlers for it.
