[SPARC64/COMPAT]: Add some compat ioctl for ppdev
The following patch adds some ioctls to include/linux/compat_ioctl.h to allow using ppdev from the 32 bit user space on sparc64. This patch also adds the PPDEV option in the sparc64 menu, near Parallel printer support in the 'General machine setup' submenu. All those ioctls seem to be compatible, since (correct me if I'm wrong) they dont use the 'long' type. See include/linux/ppdev.h. The application I used to test the new ioctls only used the following: PPEXCL PPCLAIM PPNEGOT PPGETMODES PPRCONTROL PPWCONTROL PPDATADIR PPWDATA PPRDATA But I beleive that the other ioctls will work fine.

451 Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes. This
452 is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
453 port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
454 IDs).
455
456 This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
457 It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
458 or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.

460 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
461 module will be called ppdev.

463 If unsure, say N.
