The 2.88 drive is more suitable as a default because it can still read 1.44 images correctly, but the reverse is not true.
Since there exist virtio-win drivers that are shipped on 2.88 floppy images, this patch will allow VMs booted without a floppy disk inserted to later insert a 2.88MB floppy and have that work.
