We probably should and i should've probably hit that during testing and maybe
hit an OOPS along that path but we don't do REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC in ide-floppy
yet, as it appears, and since idefloppy_blockpc_cmd() is only called when
blk_pc_request(rq) that's why this one doesn't matter here. We should consider
it though when we convert to using BLOCK_PC type rq's.
