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.

ab820341c1 Back out ru's changes. Soren has requested this and I see no reason
to not just do it.  It is his new code that is being actively
developed so he has say over it.  ru's direct changes were premature
as they occurred less than 4 hours after it was committed to the tree.
