Is this really vital for core? If a chipset isn't auto-enabling DMA these days,
it's a kernel bug that really should be fixed. And I can't think of
any other must-have reasons for hdparm.

belongs in a 'development' group or the like, but there doesn't
seem to be one. Hmm? I'd put this wherever binutils/gdb/gcc are,
which doesn't seem to be 'base'.

This should be dropped. The kernel bits haven't been present for
some time now.

I'd say yes today, given the absense of a system wide power daemon.

Should be core. This is as important as say, fsck.

When this list says 'visible' does that mean "offered as a choice in package set" ?
Anaconda has the knowledge to know whether or not it will need this post-boot
so this shouldn't need to be asked about.
