[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] disable the floppy controller on the Malta platform

[Aurelien Jarno]

The floppy controller on the Malta platform does not work correctly, as
written in the source code. I have just discoverd that it also make 
debian-installer to crash.

The patch below disables the floppy controller until we fix the problem
(low priority on my TODO list).
