Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] [resend] libata and starting/stopping ATAPI floppy devices

Hello,
I switched to libata drivers for my onboard PATA controller (PIIX4) recently. 
Everything works fine except that kernel tries to start not only my hard 
drive (sda) but also LS-120 floppy drive (sdb) which does not like it:

sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Starting disk
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 58633344 512-byte hardware sectors (30020 MB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Starting disk
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata2.01: configured for PIO2
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] ASC=0x3a ASCQ=0x0


The question is: is it correct? Or a patch like this should be applied?
