+Description:
+		(RW) Hard disk shock protection
+
+		Writing an integer value to this file will take the heads of the
+		respective drive off the platter and block all I/O operations
+		for the specified number of milliseconds.
+
+		- If the device does not support the unload heads feature,
+		  access is denied with -EOPNOTSUPP.
+		- The maximal value accepted for a timeout is 30000
+		  milliseconds.
+		- A previously set timeout can be cancelled and disk can resume
+		  normal operation immediately by specifying a timeout of 0.
+		- Some hard drives only comply with an earlier version of the
+		  ATA standard, but support the unload feature nonetheless.
+		  There is no safe way Linux can detect these devices, so this
+		  is not enabled by default. If it is known that your device
+		  does support the unload feature, then you can tell the kernel
+		  to enable it by writing -1. It can be disabled again by
+		  writing -2.
+		- Values below -2 are rejected with -EINVAL

+Contact:	linux-ide@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		(RW) This parameter allows the user to read and set the link
+		(interface) power management.
+
+		There are four possible options:
+
+		min_power: Tell the controller to try to make the link use the
+		least possible power when possible. This may sacrifice some
+		performance due to increased latency when coming out of lower
+		power states.
+
+		max_performance: Generally, this means no power management.
+		Tell the controller to have performance be a priority over power
+		management.
+
+		medium_power: Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
+		when possible, but do not enter the lowest power state, thus
+		improving latency over min_power setting.
+
+		med_power_with_dipm: Identical to the existing medium_power
+		setting except that it enables dipm (device initiated power
+		management) on top, which makes it match the Windows IRST (Intel
+		Rapid Storage Technology) driver settings. This setting is also
+		close to min_power, except that:
+		a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode, but it does
+		allow device-initiated slumber
+		b) It does not enable low power device sleep mode (DevSlp).
