kernel: 2.2.17

pb: // 0 does not work with ega/vga adapter and mono display

how to duplicate the pb:
compile the kernel with the following options (module or not):
- vga console
- parallel port
use the following hardware:
- monochrome display
- ega/vga adapter
- a // port at 0x3bc

changes:
- region size for ega/vga adapter with mono display (12bytes instead of 16).
