Absolutely, but if one just wants to capture the parallel
port int, I think it's a little overkill to make a driver
for it.

Anyway, is that documented somewhere, that
CONFIG_XENO_OPT_NATIVE_INTR is default off now and that
folks should preferably make RTDM drivers now ?
I'd suggest to add that somewhere...

Tanti saluti,
Hannes.
