So if you or Denis think there's some value in me continuing to explore
one of these areas, I can continue, otherwise I can simply resend the
last part of my series with the few missing Cc and be done with it.

It's fine - this driver isn't worth spending a ton of effort on.

The only users are virtualization, and even they are going away
because floppies are so small, and other things have become more
standard anyway (ie USB disk) or easier to emulate (NVMe or whatever).

So I suspect the only reason floppy is used even in that area is just
legacy "we haven't bothered updating to anything better and we have
old scripts and images that work".

There are real users with real floppy drives out there.
