8   <em class="parameter"><code>link</code></em> is about to be reset.  Initialize it.  Failure from
9   prereset makes libata abort whole reset sequence and give up
10   that port, so prereset should be best-effort.  It does its
11   best to prepare for reset sequence but if things go wrong, it
12   should just whine, not fail.
