I was taking a look at this, and noticed some issues with the error
handling:
* missing cleanup (put_disk) if blk_init_queue fails, dr is decremented
  first in the error handling loop
* if something fails in the add_disk loop, there is no cleanup of
  previous iterations in the error handling.
* if (disks[dr]->queue) check is bogus, when reaching there for each dr
  should exist an queue allocated, and it doesn't take into account
  iterations where add_disk wasn't done, if failure happens in add_disk
  loop.
* floppy_module_exit doesn't reset queue pointer if add_disk wasn't
  done.

I think the more complete diff below (not build tested) is needed, comments?
