Automatic acousting management, essentially meant to control the acoustic level (and thus power leve) of the drive while being used. It will keep the drive in three states: spun down, quiet (low power consumption), and fast. It was posted on lkml some time back, I can repost an updated version if there's any interest. -- Jens Axboe
