Re: [PATCH #upstream] libata: make EH fail gracefully if no reset method is available

When no reset method is available, libata currently oopses.  Although
the condition can't happen unless there's a bug in a low level driver,
oopsing isn't the best way to report the error condition.  Complain,
dump stack and fail reset instead.

ACK, but holding due to hold on prefer-hardreset patch (pinging device 
manufacturers)

ACK (held in mbox, due to waiting on drive manufacturers' responses)
