4f542e3dd9 pps: claim parallel port exclusively
Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they
can't share a port with any other driver.  This can result in locking up
the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules
are compiled in.  Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.

563558b2c7 pps: add parallel port PPS signal generator
Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
send PPS signals.  It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
precisely control the signal.
