Well, I have yet more info... Even compiling the kernel thusly, if you
actually _use_ fd0, then sleeps after that will fail.

If I boot up and disable fdc0, then everything works.

So it would appear that there is some floppy controller state that
is left behind by the probe routine's success case, but that is
cleared by the failure case (why it is necessary to have fd0 and
fd1 in the kernel), but that is set again by actually using the floppy.
This state aparently makes the wakeup routine fail. Twisted.
