SubjectRe: [stable] libata spindown patches for 2.6.21-stable

Agreed (otherwise I would have submitted the patches already).

It may be possible to get rid of the couple of unrelated ones (sd
printing, SCSI constants). These were required for the real patches to
be able to build, but it would probably be easy to modify the real
patches to build against kernels without those otherwise unrelated patches.

Yes, but they are not regressions - libata has never done this right
until now.

Here are a few:
