Oops, it's part of the hwtools package.  I guess the package split because
there was a line commented out for hdparm.  My part of the file is:

#!/bin/sh

# Hdparm optimization
# Switches on interrupts during transfers and does multi sector transfers
hdparm -u0 -m0 -S120 /dev/hd[ab]
#hdparm -u1 -m16 -S120 /dev/hd[ab]

HTH,
