    [libata] Link power management infrastructure · ca77329f
    Kristen Carlson Accardi authored
    Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
    in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
    This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
    power management policy to "min_power".
    
    Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
    (enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
    enable whatever power management policy the user set up
    for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
    This power management policy will be activated after all
    disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
    also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
    management, but not change link power management policy.
    
    Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
    information.
