If someone wants to put some effort into it... (hint: i don't)
the PDC spec (available from www.parisc-linux.org/documentation.html)
includes calls to perform block io. there's no practical reason
someone couldn't write drivers/block/pdc.c which performed IO through
this mechanism. performance would suck, but at least it would work.
