prevent hdd spin-down at system halt

[Dirk Jagdmann]

Hello developers,

is it possible to disable the spin-down (or powerdown) of hard disks
when halting the system, via the kernel cmd-line or some
configurations in /proc?

If not, what would be the appropriate places in the sources where the
spin-down requests are sent to hard disks upon system halt?

I'm currently using x86 with IDE drives, but I think the (eventual)
solution should be platform independent.
