The HPCP bit is set by bioses for on-board sata ports either because they think sata is hotplug capable in general or to allow Windows to display a "device eject" icon on ports which are routed to an external connector bracket. However in Redhat Bugzilla #1310682, users report that with kernel 4.4, where this bit test first appeared, a lot of partitions on sata drives are now mounted automatically. This patch should fix redhat and a lot of other distros which unconditionally automount all devices which have the "removable" bit set.
