i386 lpt speedup

[Geoff Steckel <gwes_(_at_)_oat_(_dot_)_com>]

The i386 "vanilla" LPT interface is set up to use an interrupt
for every character.  Many modern printers can accept large blocks
of characters at a time.  Substantial overhead can be removed with
the following change to lpt.c.  I recommend its inclusion in OpenBSD.
I have used this for about 4 months now with no ill effects.
Note that the time spent in the lpt interrupt is bounded by the
clist maximum length.
	regards,
	Geoff Steckel
