Description Tony Finch 2000-10-09 13:20:01 UTC 
Many laptops have an option for HDD power-down after an interval,
however this doesn't work too well with the syncer which usually
touches the disks every 30 seconds even on a quiescent system.
This patch allows you to change the syncer delay with a sysctl,
and it adds a compile-time kernel option so that you can increse
the delay beyond the 30 second default.

Tony should take his own PR's.

Mark as 'suspended' since this does not seem as though it is being 
actively worked on.
