Ryan, this incremental patch should fix the OOPS (it adds ->port_start
implementation which sets the default 'port PIO mode' to PIO0 so we have
sane default setting before device probing takes place and ->set_piomode
takes over), please retest the driver once you have a minute..

[ Thanks for debugging the problem and sorry for the delay.. ]
