This is done in order to remove the confusion that arises at some places
in the code where local variables or arguments shadow the global variable.
It is already visible that some places are a bit awkward and iterate over
the global variable, for the sole reason that they used to rely on it being
named "fdc" in order to get the correct address when using FD_DOR. These
ones are easy to spot by searching for "for (current_fdc...".

Some more cleanup is definitely possible. For example
"fdc_state[current_fdc].somefield" is used all over the code and would
probably be better with "fdc_state-&gt;somefield" with fdc_state being set
when current_fdc is assigned. This would require to pass the pointer to
the current state instead of the current_fdc to the I/O functions.

<title>floppy: separate the FDC's base address from its registers</title>

<content type='text'>
FDC registers FD_STATUS, FD_DATA, FD_DOR, FD_DIR and FD_DCR used to be
defined relative to FD_IOPORT, which is the FDC's base address, itself
a macro depending on the "fdc" local or global variable.

This patch changes this so that the register macros above now only
reference the address offset, and that the FDC's address is explicitly
passed in each call to fd_inb() and fd_outb(), thus removing the macro.
With this change there is no more implicit usage of the local/global
"fdc" variable.

One place in the ARM code used to check if the port was equal to FD_DOR,
this was changed to testing the register by applying a mask to the port,
as was already done in the sparc code.

There are still occurrences of fd_inb() and fd_outb() in the PARISC
code and these ones remain unaffected since they already used to work
with a base address and a register offset.

The sparc, m68k and parisc code could now be slightly cleaned up to
benefit from the macro definitions above instead of the equivalent
hard-coded values.

These two functions replace fd_inb() and fd_outb() in that they take
the FDC in argument. This will ease the separation of the base address
and the port everywhere the code is used.

Several macros were used to access reply_buffer[] at discrete positions
without making it obvious they were relying on this. These ones have
been replaced by their offset in the reply buffer to make these accesses
more obvious.
