The whole point is that we don't want to spin up the drive.  A drive
that is in standby simply treats these commands as a NOOP.  One that is
in SLEEP can not do that, so we must do it for the drive.

Without this patch, SLEEP mode is basically useless since the drive will
be woken up by one of these commands quite soon after you put it to
SLEEP.

This is just to make hdparm -Y not useless.  It has nothing to do with
suspend/resume.  I was thinking of splitting this patch series into two
parts, one with just the patches related to SLEEP and one with the
patches related to suspend/resume.
