	For lpfc, you never get to the code. Or rather when I was testing it, I
couldn't find any way to propagate an error beyond the initial
lpfc_reset_flush_io_context() call in lpfc_device_reset_handler().

	That call pretty much always returns success indpependent of the remote
device because the firmware acks the context clear aborts, resulting in the
outstanding iocb count being zero (independent of both the mid layer status
and the actual device state).
	
	Result: all the code beyond the device reset handler never gets called.
