For AHCI, if you've enabled link power management then you've already
disabled hotplug. We might as well power down unused phys in that case.
Note that laptop bays still seem to tend to use platform-specific
hotplug notification, even when they're sata - we'll get the hotplug
notify for them even if the phy's powered down, so that case also needs
to be handled.
