Currently only a device 'fdX' shows up in sysfs; the other possible
device for this drive (like fd0h1440 etc) must be guessed from there.

This patch corrects the floppy driver to create a platform device for
each floppy found; each platform device also has an attribute 'cmos'
which represents the cmos type for this drive. From this attribute the
other possible device types can be computed.

The only caller that ever sets it can call fsync_bdev itself easily.  Also
update some comments.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
