+What: libata spindown skipping and warning
+When: Dec 2008
+Why:  Some halt(8) implementations synchronize caches for and spin
+      down libata disks because libata didn't use to spin down disk on
+      system halt (only synchronized caches).
+      Spin down on system halt is now implemented.  sysfs node
+      /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop is present if
+      spin down support is available.
+      Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk
+      makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks
+      device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and
+      warn about it.
+      This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will
+      be removed after userspace is reasonably updated.
