Actually since right now I seem to be the only person that sometimes digs
down to the parport stuff I see no chance that nibble mode will ever be
implemented. Step out and volunteer, you willing kernel hackers!

About EPP/ECP: the camera does not speak EPP. And implementing DMA is
(IMHO) a waste of time because you don't get much of it.
