I have a problem with this patch. It only fixes one of the regressions
caused by the original change to the floppy driver. It does not address the
user land breakage of removing the NODELAY flag checks.

Does the same problem also happen in Linus's tree?  If not, any hints on
the patch that might have fixed it there?

That's still an unresolved issue, and it's on my list to things to look 
into.

This particular patch though fixes a different issue, and should be 
applied to -stable.

Thanks,
