This involves many changes/fixes in the floppy driver:
- Stop creating ourselves our DOS device, it's up to the MountMgr or to the kernel;
- Report each new floppy drive to the MountMgr (this is a hack for now);
- As a consequence, stop storing the symlink name into the DRIVE_INFO structure;
- Store the device name instead;
- On IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_QUERY_DEVICE_NAME, don't return DOS device, but device name;
- On IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_QUERY_DEVICE_NAME, properly return if buffer is way too small;
- Hackplement IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_QUERY_UNIQUE_ID so that it returns device name.
Because our disk.sys doesn't do anything related to PnP
(compared to disk_new.sys), forcibly declare our partitions
to the MountMgr so that it can references them and assign
them a DOS drive letter on demand later on.
This is required so that MountMgr can handle devices that are still
using class2 instead of classpnp.
Given we have no unique ID to return, we'll return device path, which
is far from perfect but which is enough for now to have everything
working.
There is no need to compile our DLLs as shared libraries since we are
managing symbols exports and imports through spec files.
On my system, this reduces the configure-time by a factor of two.
This is needed in order to avoid an infinite recursive loop between
disk!UpdateRemovableGeometry() and ntos!IoReadPartitionTable().
This does not happen with NT5+ disk_new.sys because it doesn't call
IoReadPartitionTable() in that situation.
Do not enable it yet, as it doesn't work in ROS for the moment :-(.
Its place in tree is not optimal (it should be with disk/class/etc.),
but I prefer keeping it close to actual driver for now.
All the work has been done so that it compiles and links with ReactOS
SDK though.
- Implement AcquireSpinlock, ReleaseSpinlock and GetExtendedFunctionTable notifications.
- Implement a bus scan routine, borrowed from scsiport.
Storport and storahci are now able to detect a disk device attached to a Virtual Box AHCI controller.
In spite of what was implemented in our NT DDK sample, this is a legit operation.
This may have been turned legit starting NT5 (reminder, our implementation is
NT4 based...). So, in this situation, just return the information about the whole
disk (and not a random size) and also, mark everything with default values.
See disk_new for an example of how it works in NT5+.

This should fix some virtual machines and real hardware machine with empty floopy drive
not being able to boot ReactOS (stuck while initializing floppy.sys).
This fixes a regression introduced in r70746.
It could be generalized to other interrupts, floppy controllers not being reliable.
