Hmm, I can, but I don't see anything in it that supports this. Is that
really the right bz? It's the right hardware, but has all sorts of FUD
about the version of various other components in the stack.

Right, plus when this does work I suspect it removes the one mechanism
we have to reset the device, which depending on how obscure the failure
scenario is, isn't a clear cut improvement for device assignment.
