:   Added the pbio(4) 8255 parallel peripheral interface basic I/O driver.
:   The driver is designed for performing I/O under program control using
:   peripherals such as the Advantech PCL-724 card, which emulates the Intel
:   8255A PPI in mode 0.  Other 8255A-based peripherals such as the BMC
:   Messsysteme PIO24II card have also been reported to work.

Although approved by re@, would it have really hurt to commit this to
head first?  There's no risk of breakage committing something to
current first because you already have something working on 4.x.
This is a simple driver, and having it work in current would be
relatively trivial.  The risk is that it wouldn't work there.
