[PATCH 0/2] Stop disks on reboot for laptop which cuts power

[Bruno PrÃmont]

Hi,

During shutdown (power off) the disks are stopped gracefully thus the
stopping is skipped for reboot case.

On my Acer Travelmate 660 reboot is more like power-off as it cuts all
power during reboot which currently causes the disk to emergency-park
its head (noisy and shortens disk life).

This patch series adds a DMI-based check to ide-gd and sd to still
stop the disks for affected laptop during reboot.

Has been compile an run-tested with libata and just compile-tested for
ide.
