I'd forgotten: i _had_ ported the lpt driver already, but i forgot to
create a cdevsw entry and MAKEDEV rules for it.  i just added it to my
tree at character device major 31.  if you want to use it, copy the
conf.c entry from the i386 port, etc., and put it in the right place
in the alpha conf.c, and make the device nodes.
