Hi, 
this patch upgrades bb's hdparm to
the latest version 6.6.

The size of the applet with all config options enabled is:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  28950     928     916   30794    784a hdparm.o.6.6
  27330         4     904   28238    6e4e hdparm.o.old

The size increase is due mostly to the new functionalities added:

--direct  use O_DIRECT to bypass page cache for timings
-E   set cd-rom drive speed
-M   get/set acoustic management (0-254, 128: quiet, 254: fast) (EXPERIMENTAL)

The size of the applet with all optional features disabled is:

  text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 10921       8     328   11257    2bf9 hdparm.o

The dependencies on kernel headers were removed.
The patch is big and could be downloaded from

Ciao,
Tito
