As Adrian (IIRC) pointed out last time this was posted (last week),
this is what you can get when you enable "BROKEN".  IOW, see
  drivers/block/Kconfig:

config BLK_DEV_PS2
	tristate "PS/2 ESDI hard disk support"
	depends on MCA && MCA_LEGACY && BROKEN
                                        ^^^^^^

so please send patches to fix it (the driver) if you care about it.
