I planned this series to be the first step to fix the attach function
which does not return it succeeded or failed. And if attach has failed
then there is no reason that module_init will report success.

But as Greg pointed out that the first step should be to bring the
parallel port in the driver model. I am working on that now, I will
post a v2 of this series once that modification is done, and that will
need extensive testing.
