Marc,

(This may be a resend, gmail and its fancy text hates me.)

There has been debate over whether always reseting the MCI controller
is the correct thing to do.  I think for some platforms it is required
but there is no consensus to what those platforms are.  I think the
config option is the best of both worlds as a user of this
kernel/driver can choose to enable this or not without having to
modify their source.  It may even be a decent idea to enable this
option if they are using certain chips that we know reseting improves
their behavior.

Thank you,
Rob
