ACPI + FIC VA-503+ = non-working fdc

On a FIC VA-503+ motherboard, ACPI does not play nice with the floppy
disk controller. In all versions of 5.x, and now 6.0, it cannot talk
to the fdc when ACPI is enabled. In 6.0-RELEASE, the message I get
if "No FDOUT register!". It works fine with ACPI disabled, and perhaps
I should just stick with that ...
Also, in 6.0-RELEASE, enabling ACPI seems to cause the re driver to
get watchdog timeouts ...
