Please use a different config option for your floppy driver, i.e.
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD98

this shoiuld be handled by the config system..

it would be nice if you could get rid of those obsolete version ifdefs for a

please use C99-style initializers here.

yes.

use no_llseek instead.

use proper spinlocking.

you don't free an buffer allocated above here

please use fops.owner based refcounting instead.

umm..

use module_init/module_exit instead.

check_region is obsolete, use the return value from request_region instead.

again, use no_llseek

EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS is obsolete, don't use it in 2.5.
