During kdump testing I noticed timeouts when initialising each IPR adapter. While the driver has logic to detect an adapter in an indeterminate state, it wasn't triggering and each adapter went through a 5 minute timeout before finally going operational. Some analysis showed the needs_hard_reset flag wasn't getting set. We can check the reset_devices kernel parameter which is set by kdump and force a full reset. This fixes the problem.
