I have plans to support some of the enhancements in the PCIe cards, 
which would mean I can't use the 8255 module.  That's one of the reasons 
I implemented the 8255 functionality directly in the driver (there's not 
very much anyway).  The other was it would have been a bit of a pain as 
the comedi 'dev' parameter wasn't passed through.

So I'd prefer to drop this patch so I don't have to undo it later.
