I take Jonathan's point that it would be nice to have this functionality in atacontrol, though perhaps the BUGS section in ataidle(8) precludes merging that? cc'ing Bruce Cran in case he wants to add something ..
ataidle is at the moment quite dumb about sending commands: it doesn't check that the drive actually supports APM/AAM before sending the commands, and that's an easy check to do. If this was being added to atacontrol I think I'd want to do quite a bit of work first to make it more robust. However I don't think the code from ataidle could ever just be merged in to atacontrol because the code styles are quite different; however since the interface to the ATA driver is quite straightforward it should be trivial to re-implement or copy the bits needed.
