ide-floppy is still royally broken when reading the partition
information - I've been staring at traces for a while yesterday and
it looks pretty hairy. What is more, it needs that same fix for
DEBUG_VIRTUAL as ide-cd since I could reproduce it yesterday. Do you
still want that for the merge window or you wanna wait until its
properly fixed?
