Version 2 of <http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg05640.html>.
Changes are broken out per-patch; the cumulative changes are: - more granular structure (several patches in place of 1), - rename "force_fdctrl" parameter to "create_fdctrl", - drop the separate compat knob "force_fdctrl", use the "no_floppy" machine class setting in its stead (in inverse meaning). I didn't touch ACPI bits (raised by Gabriel) because I got the impression that they are - alright on PIIX4 (which sees no change in this series), and - already handled correctly / dynamically on Q35 (an independent issue was discovered but Gerd took that on, thanks). Sorry if I misunderstood.
