I'm afraid trying to use that new extension during shutdown would cause
far more trouble which would require extensive black/white list at the
end.  For hdaps, it's okay as the laptops w/ those sensors are supposed
to have matching hard drive but using it on generic machines doesn't
sound like a sane idea.
