So do you want to fix the floppy passthrough code? I don't even know
how to fix it. I don't even know what's wrong with it, other than that
something's ought to be wrong.
Having a driver to pass-through hardware next to nobody has anymore is
one thing. But maintaining special cases in the generic block layer for
it is another thing altogether: media handling is different, and the
difference is not fully encapsulated in the driver (at least last time I
checked).
Can anybody tell me why spending developer time on floppy passthrough is
a justifiable investment?
If not, let's drop it and move on.
Do you want to do it? I don't want to be held responsible for it. ;-)
