Whether there is a version of the qemu-kvm with support for parallel port (passthrough). I need parallel port for Windows VM (security dongle LPT).
I use on one host # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -version QEMU emulator version 2.3.0 (qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.10.1)
another host /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -version QEMU emulator version 1.5.3 (qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7_2.3)
Both versions do not support parallel port and generate error:
qemu-kvm: -device isa-parallel,chardev=char parallel 0,id=parallel 0: 'isa-parallel' is not a valid device model name

This says that parallel dongles don't work well in any hypervisor: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27877758/virtual-machine-to-suppo...

Yes on CentOS / RHEL this is not supported, you can open a RFE about it on bugzilla.redhat.com.
