On x86-based systems Linux determines the presence and the type of
floppy drives via a query of a CMOS field. So does SeaBIOS when
populating the return data for int 0x13 function 0x08.
However Windows doesn't do it. Instead, it requests this information
from BIOS via int 0x13/0x08 or through ACPI objects _FDE (Floppy Drive
Enumerate) and _FDI (Floppy Drive Information) of the floppy controller
object. On UEFI systems only ACPI-based detection is supported.
QEMU doesn't provide those objects in its ACPI tables and as a result
floppy drives are invisible to Windows on UEFI/OVMF.
This patch adds those objects to the floppy controller in DSDT,
populating them with the information from respective QEMU objects.
