Subject: Enabling ata write cache in -Stable

I see that the ATA_ENABLE_WC option has left the kernel. Is there any
way to temporarily re-enable it at boot time? I see hw.ata.wc, but it
is read-only. I only want to use the write cache when running
stand-alone and using dd to copy my hard drive.

I've checked the man pages and the release notes and I don't see
anything.

Thanks,
