/dev/disk/by-id/has entries mapping to the drive as well as partitions:
1021% ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750330AS_9QK0X03V*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-08-16 10:44 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750330AS_9QK0X03V -> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-08-16 10:44 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750330AS_9QK0X03V-part1 -> ../../sdb1
So you should be able to point hdparm at a udev-managed symlink.
