Having just checked Windows and seen that it lets you specify a timeout
down to 1 minute with no warnings, I don't think we want to make it
more difficult for people to do the same thing on FreeBSD.  I don't
know if atacontrol already does this, but maybe we could have a log
entry, for example:

> atacontrol /dev/ad0 spindown 60
spin-down timer set to 60 seconds.
