pata_parport will use existing paride protocol modules. So the paride/ directory must be processed to compile the protocol modules (if they're enabled) even if paride is not enabled.

pata_parport and paride are mutually exclusive because the binary protocol modules are incompatible (the struct pi_adapter is different).
