I tried this on 2.6.20.2 it applied to libata with some fuzz and I had to manually edit libata.h
When I did a shutdown I still got the click/pop.

I also noticed the last thing displayed on the lcd before it goes blank is

That patch on its own will not help, you also need Tejun's stop-on-shutdown patch, otherwise the kernel will not try to stop the disk before powering off.
