Merge branch 'floppy'
Merge floppy ioctl verification fixes from Denis Efremov.
This also marks the floppy driver as orphaned - it turns out that Jiri
no longer has working hardware.
Actual working physical floppy hardware is getting hard to find, and
while Willy was able to test this, I think the driver can be considered
pretty much dead from an actual hardware standpoint. The hardware that
is still sold seems to be mainly USB-based, which doesn't use this
legacy driver at all.
The old floppy disk controller is still emulated in various VM
environments, so the driver isn't going away, but let's see if anybody
is interested to step up to maintain it.
The lack of hardware also likely means that the ioctl range verification
fixes are probably mostly relevant to anybody using floppies in a
virtual environment. Which is probably also going away in favor of USB
storage emulation, but who knows.
Will Decon reviewed the patches but I'm not rebasing them just for that,
so I'll add a
