With the attached patch I get the following output on modprobe parport:
[   28.848297] lp0: using parport0 (polling).
[   28.858860] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver

The patch also turns on the floppy device, but I've none here to verify if it 
will work. It would be great if you can test if floppy works, so that we could 
mark the last two "not-working" parts as OK in the wiki, if it the floppy does 
its job
