Macs don't use the normal Linux floppy driver at all, but rather the
swim3 driver.
Yep, so the contents of include/asm-ppc/floppy.h in 2.4.x were:
<SNIP>
__inline__ void virtual_dma_init(void)
{
/* Nothing to do on PowerPC */
}
static int FDC1 = 0x3f0;
static int FDC2 = -1;

#define N_FDC 2 /* Don't change this! */
#define N_DRIVE 8
#define FLOPPY_MOTOR_MASK 0xf0
/*

#define CROSS_64KB(a,s) (0)

.. extremely sparse. Now on the AmigaOne, floppy DMA happens to not be
working properly for some other reason, so the floppy driver for the PC
floppy controller of the AmigaOne appears to try to use virtual DMA and
it crashes and burns. I had to copy all the missing stuff from
asm-i386/floppy.h to this file to allow it to work, and that stuff
should be present anyway IMO, since statements like "The PowerPC has no
problems with floppy DMA crossing 64k borders" and "Nothing to do on
PowerPC" are wrong. PowerPC != Apple Mac.
