+Subject: [PATCH] SATA Sil: Blacklist system that spins off disks during ACPI power off
+References: bnc#441721
+
+Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
+spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
+This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
+last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
+kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
+This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
+
+To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
+using DMI information.
+
+Blacklist HP nx6325 that uses the sata_sil driver.
