Poul-Henning Kamp 72d945abcc Add a "spindown" facility to ata-disks: If no requests have been received
for a configurable number of seconds, spin the disk down.  Spin it back
up on the next request.

Notice that the timeout is only armed by a request, so to spin down a
disk you may have to do:

	atacontrol spindown ad10 5
	dd if=/dev/ad10 of=/dev/null count=1

To disable spindown, set timeout to zero:

	atacontrol spindown ad10 0

In order to debug any trouble caused, this code is somewhat noisy on the
console.

Enabling spindown on a disk containing / or /var/log/messages is not
going to do anything sensible.

Spinning a disk up and down all the time will wear it out, use sensibly.
