Subject: [PATCH] floppy: release only the ports we actually requested

Bjorn, Andrew,

With the last floppy patch, the floppy driver requests only the ports that
it really uses, but the code contains yet places where it releases those
unrequested ports.  I don't know if it is harmfull, but I think it is cleaner
that the parameters of the release_region calls match the request_region ones.
