Could this be done with config symbols somehow, i.e., CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD?
It seems sort of ugly to encode the knowledge about which platforms
support legacy floppy both in Kconfig and in the actual source.

BTW, it looks like one can still select legacy floppy support on ia64:

config BLK_DEV_FD
        tristate "Normal floppy disk support"
        depends on !X86_PC9800 && !ARCH_S390
