  Log:
  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.
