+Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: SAUCE: libata: Ignore HPA by default.
+
+This was previously changed by using an "options" line in a modprobe.d
+file, however that practice is now deprecated.  This is because module
+names, option names, their values and even their current defaults can
+all change inside the kernel and module-init-tools has never been kept
+in sync.
+
+In addition, changing the kernel means that the option change will apply
+if the module is built in by users or the OEM team.
