Yes, this is probably an appropriate workaround (assuming it works, but it does look plausible) - but hdparm is (potentially) doing other things as well as enabling ATA passthrough, so I'd like to allow the active upstream discussion of this problem to proceed a bit longer before we slam a workaround into place. If there is no alternative by 10.04 final, then we can apply this.
