 First of all, sorry about copying the whole message again in
 my reply.
 
 Second, rev. 1.22 of ppi.c already contains the check for
 bus alloc failing. Thanks for the patch though.
 
 On the shareable flag. It doesn't hurt to add it. And if it
 makes it work for you, just leave it there, it's a good
 idea. I won't add it for the general case, as with ISA
 hardware it more often breaks than that it is valid
 solution.
 
 On the header files: The best solution would be to copy
 those to /usr/include/sys/dev/ppbus during make world where
 they belong (like the /sys/dev/usb ones), but I can't be
 bothered at the moment.
 
 Thanks for the PR!
 
 Nick
