[patch removed]

This wasn't the problem after all. __initdata is effectively a nop when
used in a module. The problem (auto irq and dma test returns 0 when
it should return PARPORT_IRQ_NONE/PARPORT_DMA_NONE) arrises when
parport_probe.c (PnP) is compiled as a module (I haven't tried to compile
it into the kernel.)
