[PATCH] fs: FAT: Add support for DOS 1.x formatted volumes

[Conrad Meyer <cemeyer@uw.edu>]

When possible, infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block from block device
geometry (for floppies and floppy images). Update in-memory only. We
only perform this update when the entire BPB region is zeroed, like
produced by DOS 1.x-era FORMAT (and other OEM variations on DOS).

Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.

BPB default values are inferred from media size and a table.[0] Media
size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also [1].

Diff is from Linus' v3.14-rc8.

I am a kernel newbie, apologies in advance for newbie mistakes. Let me know
what is wrong and I will fix it and learn.

Thanks!
