Subject: [PATCH 3/6] SATA: Blacklisting of systems that spin off disks during ACPI power off

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

Introduce new libata flags ATA_FLAG_NO_POWEROFF_SPINDOWN and
ATA_FLAG_NO_HIBERNATE_SPINDOWN that, if set, will prevent disks from
being spun off during system power off and hibernation, respectively
(to handle the hibernation case we need the new system state
SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be checked against by libata, in
analogy with SYSTEM_POWER_OFF).
