dump AML byte stream and ACPI resources

Does the printer work with any kernel that has PNPACPI enabled?  Apparently
it worked in 2.6.14-r5, but I think PNPACPI was disabled there so we were just
using the legacy probe.  If it worked with PNPACPI once, we must have broken
it.

I just came across this patch:  
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ccc4c7bbd6a2d47bf5899c2c8cf2e0d176a4dc0f

I don't think it has anything to do with your problem (it only affects the
pnpacpi_encode_dma path, which is used when we tell the BIOS to configure
the device), but it does remind me that the BIOS tells us other DMA attributes
besides the channel.  I can't find any drivers that actually look at the other
attributes, but maybe we'd learn something interesting by looking at the actual
resources from the BIOS and the way PNPACPI interprets them.

If you collect the dmesg output with this patch (pnpacpi-debug) applied, I'll
decode the parport resources by hand and see what they look like.
