Ah, I see thank you for clarifying that. Yes I agree that
min_power_with_partial is the best name for the new policy.

For the next version do not forget to make the overriding of the
lpm policy a per host thing, rather then directly overriding the
global value as I mentioned in a previous mail.

One other thing is to NOT override the policy if it is set on
the kernel-commandline, which I believe will require setting the
global value to -1 and only set another value if the global value
is not -1 (using you settings where applicable and falling back
to CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY where not applicable).

Regards,

Hans
