this can be ignored safely, although it points to a possible bug in
the floppy initialization code. The problem is that request_irq()
implicitly unmasks the requested IRQ line (IRQ6 in this case),
floppy_grab_irq_and_dma() seems to assume that the IRQ is masked.
this (untested) patch explicitly turns off the floppy IRQ after
fd_request_irq().
