Ok, as suspected, our floppy driver is being overly ambitious in 
allocating IO ports.  See these messages for how it was solved in Linux 
(and Windows).

Basically, systems that have AML that claim 0x3f2-0x3f5,0x3f7 are 
correct and we need to only allocate those ports.  In fact, we shouldn't 
allocate 0x3f0-0x3f1 unless on a PS/2 system.  However, our floppy code 
assumes a base of 0x3f0 and that's why people report error messages like:

fdc0: <floppy drive controller> port 0x3f7,0x3f4-0x3f5,0x3f2-0x3f3
       irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
device_attach: fdc0 attach returned 6
