Actually, ft is sort of the "user mode component" of the driver - it's
not just a simple control program like mt.  The ft component needs to
be moved into the driver itself and /dev/ft<n> should implement the
same semantics as the other tape drivers.

Of course, floppy tapes everywhere should also *die*, but we can't
have everything. ;-)
