Subject: [RFT][PATCH] Poke ACPI about connected floppy drives
I've gotten a few complaints because I removed the floppy module
modaliases in Fedora, which means people with ancient junk need
to manually probe it. (Some modern machines spend a good few seconds
probing non-existant floppy drives otherwise.)
Re-organize floppy.ko a bit to allow us to, in the case of CONFIG_ACPI,
poke the ACPI _FDE object to see how many floppy drives are connected,
and not bother probing if there are none.
I'd appreciate it if people could test this patch, and let me know how
many floppy drives they actually have, versus how many are reported
from the ACPI object. My 965-era Asus lies through its teeth about the
table, so I'm not entirely convinced this method is tenable, but it's my
olive branch to the floppy users.
If !CONFIG_ACPI, it should have the ordinary pnp ids and bind that way.
