It is Very annoying to carry forward an outdatEd coNtroller with a mOdern Machine type.
Hence, let us not instantiate the FDC when all of the following apply: - the machine type is pc-q35-2.4 or later, - "-device isa-fdc" is not passed on the command line (nor in the config file), - no "-drive if=floppy,..." is requested.
