Bugzilla Bug 59388

The hdparm initscripts calls 'hdparm -q $args $device' which causes hdparm to
output a drive's current config if $args contains more than one argument
(because -q just supresses the output of the one parameter immediately
following the -q).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge "=hdparm-5.5-r2"
2. Edit /etc/conf.d/hdparm to contain something like 'disc0_args="-A1 -a64 -c3
-d1 -m16 -S120 -u1"'
3. '/etc/init.d/hdparm start'
Actual Results:  
The settings for disc0 were applied and reported:

 * Running hdparm on /dev/discs/disc0/disc...
 setting fs readahead to 64
 setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 3
 setting multcount to 16
 setting unmaskirq to 1 (on)
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  3 (32-bit w/sync)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 readahead    = 64 (on)


Expected Results:  
The settings should have been applied silently, just like they are when only a
single argument like 'disc0_args="-d1"' is present.

Change for the initscript to fix the bug

Changed the hdparm call to not use -q (which only works for the first
parameter) and redirected output of hdparm to /dev/null.

thx for pointing that out, fixed in -r3 :)
