After patching up to 2.6.10-rc2, I get the following compiler warning
when building the kernel with gcc 2.95:

drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:3317: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

The warning occurs because parport_init_mode_setup() wants 'char *'
instead of 'const char *'.

The fix is to just remove the 'const' from the declaration.

Here's the patch to drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:
