I don't know how APST works, but it sounds like you want to disable D3
if you're using APST.  But that's not what this patch does; this
disables it always.

I'm not sure we want a quirk for this at all, since as Christoph
points out, it doesn't fix a functional issue as the other uses of
quirk_no_ata_d3() do.

>From your emails with Christoph, it sounds like this quirk is a
workaround for a firmware defect.  If we *do* end up wanting a quirk,
the changelog should at least mention the firmware defect and maybe
check whether it has been fixed.
