Okay, that's a different matter. There's a much simpler way to
accomplish this. The patch below will avoid spinning up drives that
were already in runtime suspend when the system sleep started.
(If a drive wasn't in runtime suspend then presumably it was used
recently; therefore it's likely to be used again in the near future and
so it _should_ be spun up.)
Warning: This patch is completely untested. I didn't even try to
compile it. Still, it should give you a good idea as to what is really
needed here.
