People, *PLEASE* don't put things in /proc/sys that don't follow the
sysctl() formatting conventions. parport is an example:
: tazenda 5 ; cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/hardware
base: 0x378 (0x778)
irq: 7
dma: 3
modes: PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP,ECP,DMA
These are individual data items and should have different files.
/proc/sys/kernel/printk is another example (using a fixed-size array
for what should be four named data items.)
