(Get the code!)
It seems that the desired functionality has hit mainline (v2.6.35 and later), that HPA will start enabled but will be unlocked should the partitions require it:
commit d8d9129ea28e217
Author: Tejun Heo <email address hidden>

libata: implement on-demand HPA unlocking
This should mean we can drop the patch below:
commit eaea8ccbd3adf0b
Author: Scott James Remnant <email address hidden>
Date: Tue Mar 3 14:20:01 2009 +0000
UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) libata: Ignore HPA by default.
Propose we drop this in Natty and see what happens. A call for testing will likely be appropriate.
