Please note that hdparm results can be highly influenced 
by changes in the Virtual Memory management.

One of my TODO items is tool for testing raw IDE performance,
so we know where to put blame for degraded results... :)
[ but it should wait until all IDE driver is taskfile based ]

It would be great to test at least every -rc kernel so eventual
regressions can be discovered (and fixed) before final release.
