I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 running tp_smapi and hdapsd over 2.6.26.2 Kernel with Elias patch: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/1324/raw>
If you need some info, pls let me know.

IMHO, userland daemon need only inform users when hdd heads was parking. This is what KHDAPSMonitor do (<http://roy.marples.name/node/269>). A daemon like this is used in Windows, but one more feature is present: Is possible choose "Manual Unlock" (hdd heads is kept parked until I click over daemon to unlock).
