No.  You can only "loadrt" a driver once.  Use commas to separate the
configuration for each board loaded by the same driver, as shown in 'man
9 hostmot2' 'config modparam'.

Yes, as far as I know.  But unlike the ppmc system there can be only a
single board per parport bus.

Not sure.  The hostmot2 manpage (near the bit I referred to above) says
that the load order for pci boards is consistent from run to run, but
that's about the only guarantee.

No, I don't think so.

Yes, I think so.
