I had 2.6.36 running since then and have now booted into 2.6.37-rc6.

Yes, it is hal indeed.  Shutting hal down avoids this logging activity.

OK, correct directory follows below.

Actually, this time I see once every two seconds a message about
logical unit 6:0:0:0 and 6 times every two seconds a message about
host7:

sd 6:0:0:0 is a USB card reader built into a monitor:
Host: scsi6 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: Generic  Model: Ultra HS-SD/MMC  Rev: 1.88
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 00

This is from the power/ directory of the "6:0:0:0" device which is
bound to driver sd:

host7 is the mentioned ATI SB700/SB800 IDE controller.  Here is the
power/ directory of the scsi_host device (rather than scsi_host class
device):

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.1/host7/power/async:enabled
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.1/host7/power/control:auto

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.1/host7/power/runtime_usage:0

The parent device 0000:00:14.1 is bound to the mentioned pata_atiixp,
if this is of any importance at all.

I have both options off on 2.6.36 and older kernels.  I have both
options on on 2.6.37-rc5/-rc6 (because I wanted to check something
unrelated on 2.6.37).
