avoid copying parport modules into pi-parport source tree #49

Problem: As internal kernel interfaces change, the "vendored" copies of the parport stack become stale and break.

We only need them because the raspberry pi kernel doesn't configure the parport stack. It sounds like they are open to changing that - see raspberrypi/linux#3918 and stale pr raspberrypi/linux#3923
