I will submit it; we'll see whether anyone objects. By the way, you can change the constant autosuspend and autoresume behavior easily enough. All you have to do is: echo N >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend where "..." is the path for the disk's USB device and N is the number of seconds the disk should be idle before it gets autosuspended. If you use -1 for N then the disk will never autosuspend.
