NOTE: This is on top of the 'upstream-linus' branch, in a linear
history. If you pull this, you get BOTH this and upstream-linus. If
you already pulled upstream-linus, you will get only what you see below.

This has been in -mm for a while, but didn't make the initial push due
to my own fault.

Hardware SATA link power management (ALPM) has a __significant__
positive impact on power saving. At the min_power setting (maximize
power savings), there have been claimed of battery life being extended
by 30-60 minutes or more (on a 4-6 hour battery).

Please pull from 'alpm' branch of
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git alpm
