(resend, sorry for the duplicate)

Jeff,

As the maintainer, can you provide direction as to how quirks should
be maintained for the rotating disk flag (as reflected in
/sys/block/sda/queue/rotational).

There is Bart's patch, Peter's patch, and Martin says it can be
overridden from userspace (I'm not sure which tool,  nor do I know if
there is already a userspace quirks table to add to.).

Bart's atang PATCH: http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=126677421807814&w=2

Peter's patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg38944.html
