Ehhh... This really should be in libata core layer. Please create the
default attrs and let ahci define its own.

Which would make this unnecessary and make disk unloading available to
all libata drivers.

Why do you need a timeout when you can just msleep()?

You probably want to do if (dev->class != ATA_DEV_ATA) here.

Queue is already plugged when EH is entered. No need for this.

Neither this.

And no need to play with locks at all.

I would just msleep() here.

And does the device need this explicit wake up? It will wake up when
it's necessary.

Why are these PM notifiers necessary?

And these all can go. If you're worried about recurring events you
can just update timestamp from the sysfs write function and do...

deadline = last_timestamp + delay;
while ((now = jiffies) < deadline) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_timeout(deadline - now);
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
}

Hmmm.... Maybe you can just disable it by echoing -1 to the unload file?

Thanks.
