I didn't try that yet.  Furthermore I don't actually have the floppy
drive in the UltraBay.  But it's probably only the floppy controller

I also did another patch that fits into the DMI blacklist framework. But
I would like to have a few other reports, in order to be able to narrow
down the affected models.
