This was put in for PPC specifically and defined in the 2.4 tree to be
paranoid about breaking stuff. The actual wait for hwif spin up is however
perfectly correct for all drives. In the normal PC case the PC BIOS has done
this but with other embedded boxes and with things like LinuxBIOS it may not
have done. Thus it should always be done.
