PATCH 1/1 disable the floppy controller on the Malta platform

The floppy controller on the Malta platform does not work correctly, as written in the source code. I have just discoverd that it also make debian-installer to crash.

The patch below disables the floppy controller until we fix the problem (low priority on my TODO list).
