I have tried the following kernel: http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20160120T225934Z/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.3.0-1-amd64_4.3.3-7_amd64.deb
It works for mounting a floppy. I will use this kernel as a workaround.

Regards
Bernd

The PC floppy drive controller requires ZONE_DMA which was disabled in
our amd64 configuration for Linux 4.4.  However, that will be restored
in the next upload to unstable and I've verified the floppy driver is
working again in QEMU.

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
