Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hpsa: export resettable host attribute

From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@...rdog.cce.hp.com>

This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
and actually reset the controller.  For kdump to work properly it
is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored.  This
attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

+  The "resettable" read-only attribute indicates whether a particular
+  controller is able to honor the "reset_devices" kernel parameter.  If the
+  device is resettable, this file will contain a "1", otherwise, a "0".  This
+  parameter is used by kdump, for example, to reset the controller at driver
+  load time to eliminate any outstanding commands on the controller and get the
+  controller into a known state so that the kdump initiated i/o will work right
+  and not be disrupted in any way by stale commands or other stale state
+  remaining on the controller from the previous kernel.  This attribute enables
+  kexec tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a device which is
+  unable to honor the reset_devices kernel parameter as a dump device.
