Hi Jens,

the paride driver has been unmaintained for a while and is a significant
maintainance burden, including the fact that it is one of the last
users of the block layer bounce buffering code.  This patch suggest
to remove it assuming no users complain loduly.

Ondrej: you're the last known users, so please speak up if you still
have a use case!
