Hey, these seem to be multiple cleanups. Can you break these down into
individual patches. Review becomes easy.

I think checking for FDC_NONE and allowed_drive_mask() in multiple places
is becoming unreadable now. Can we just maintain a separate array to keep
track of disks on which we have called add_disk() and do the cleanup 
accordingly.

static unsigned short disk_registered[N_DRIVE];

/* do add_disk */
disk_registered[drive] = 1;


out_put_disk:
	while(dr--) {
		if (disks[dr]->queue && !disk_registered[dr]) {
			blk_cleanup_queue()
			disks[dr]->queue = NULL;
		}
	}

Same disk_registered[] can be used for your other loop of remove drives.
Also it can be used in cleaning up code in floppy_module_exit().

I think this will make code much more readable. Right now this error 
handling loop is just getting too complicated.

Thanks
