The 8255 is way too flexible for a single driver to be possible,
IMHO. Also, it is used in devices which plug into a variety of
upstream APIs, which makes the factorization not worth the effort.
E.g. what if you have 8255 driving a 9 track tape and 8255 driving
HP-IB bus? I think it would hardly be reasonable to unify those.
OTOH, If Martin submits a header file with register breakdown,
it may be useful (unlike a continuation of /dev/port discussion).
