From 92a539d22e0da14d5395eb2c2c8bee162ebdb0b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 17:02:20 +0100 Subject: raw-posix: Deprecate host floppy passthrough Raise your hand if you have a physical floppy drive in a computer you've powered on in 2015. Okay, I see we got a few weirdos in the audience. That's okay, weirdos are welcome here. Kidding aside, media change detection doesn't fully work, isn't going to be fixed, and floppy passthrough just isn't earning its keep anymore. Deprecate block driver host_floppy now, so we can drop it after a grace period.
