be9d0411f1 parport-lowlevel.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. This one uses a man-page like approach.

Change its representation to be closer to the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Mark titles;
- Mark literals and literal blocks;
- Adjust identation.

Still, the best would be to move its contents to kernel-docs.

cdb32706f6 plip: fix parport_register_device name parameter
Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to
parport_register_device.  parport_register_device holds the pointer to
"name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere.

On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as
/proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip
proc node is completely missing.

The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement.

25398a158d sysctl: parport remove binary paths
The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not
filled in, and all of the proc_handlers look at extra1 and there is not
strategy routine.

So just kill the binary paths.

In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories.  It
doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
