I'll take a deeper look as to why it didn't work correctly where the
code was originally sitting.  It had something to do with the reset
clearing the debug controller settings.

This chunk got moved prior to creating the reset_prep logic, so in all
likely hood it should go back to where it was, because we do want this
to work with the pci and non-pci case.

Sure, I'll fix these for a round #2 after any other comments come back.

Thanks for the comments,
