[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2] Add option to switch off FDC

["Gabriel L. Somlo" <gsomlo@gmail.com>]

Allow guests to omit the configuration of a floppy disk controller.

Signed-off-by: Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cmu.edu>

New in this version:

  - "int have_fdc = 1;" instead of "int no_fdc = 0;"

  - use 8bit field for FDC0's _STA method

So, are we talking only about the "policy" part here, i.e., how and when
to turn "have_fdc" off or on, and whether to expose that option through
the command line ?

Are we OK with the "mechanism" part, i.e. introducing "have_fdc", and
programatically configuring the FDC in pc.c and patching the DSDT
based on its value ?

Thanks,
  Gabriel
