I've created a patch, addressing the hdparm issues:
- APMD_SPINDOWN=60 for spindown after 5 minutes instead of 1.5 minutes
- handle "dunno" return value from on_ac_power in choose_power and do not assume laptop mode in this case

I think 5 minutes is a reasonable compromise, but I'm no laptop user at all.

Please note, that this only addresses the "hdparm -S" setting in the apm hook file. This may be totally wrong/incomplete!
