I agree with Jeff that Tejun's tool would be the right place. And
there's always udev...

But the question is whether it's worth the hassle since there a many of
these devices out there and it is unclear whether treating them as
non-rotational is a win. If you can provide some compelling performance
improvement numbers for a particular device we can look into adding a
quirk for it.
