git-bisect shows up this commit as the guilty party. I can't just revert it on a recent tree though.
Will investigate further.

     libata: track spindown status and skip spindown_compat if possible

     Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong.  The
     upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse
     don't take any action for libata disks on spindown.  We can skip
     compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update
     anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.
