[Bug 445852] Re: devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death

[Tommy Trussell]

@will -- in my experience with my Patriot Lite SSD, the patch in post 1
works fine but your first software update will undo it. And it's not
good enough to apply the patch after the software update is finished,
because the buggy code starts running immediately and it trashes the
drive before the update even finishes.

The more elaborate workaround in comment 147 (which Andrew Simpson
developed and I reiterated) tells the package manager to move the buggy
code to a different location and apply all future updates to it in the
new location (step 6) and creates a dummy executable file that runs but
does nothing (step 7 & 8) in the location of the old software.
