Excellent!  Watch out for these in version 1.1.9 of the DPT driver.
Should i just add them or #ifdef on a config option?
The driver is already:

text    data    bss     dec     hex
3040    80      592     3712    e80     dpt_control.o
1728    32      64      1824    720     dpt_pci.o
15408   160     48      15616   3d00    dpt_scsi.o

Boot Floppy concerns...
