According to the ATA standard, the device (drive) itself is responsible
for preserving SMART enabled status over power cycles. It seems your
drive doesn't wanna do that. I don't think mangling with SMART setup in
the kernel is wise thing to do. Bruce, any ideas? Maybe hook smartd
such that it gets suspend/resume events?
