[Linux-parport] RFC: add udev support to parport_pc

Here is a patch to parport_pc.c that adds udev support.  Without it sysfs 
does not have enough information to give to udev so the lp and parport nodes 
can be created.  The only problem I have is the kernel_oops when I do the 
following: insmod parport, insmod parport_pc, rmmod parport_pc, rmmod 
parport, insmod parport, insmod parport_pc, rmmod parport_pc, kernel oops.  
>From the part of the traceback I can read the problem is in parport_pc_exit. 
  Any help in tracking down the problem would be appreciated.  If this is 
acceptable how can I get this added to the mainline?  This is my first patch 
so please be gentle.

Thanks,
Jason Dravet
