Floppies can be simple or double-sided. However, current code
was only taking the common case into account (ie 2 sides).

Impact?

This repairs single-sided floppies

Are single sided floppies broken before the patch? How?

Yes. For head > 0, wrong sector number is calculated, so data is read/written at wrong place on underlying block device.

Fortunately, mostly nobody is still using single-sided floppies (only some 360 kB floppies are single-sided), so bug has been neglected since a long time.
