Hi Stephen,

Thinking more about it, can we make "resettable_on_kexec" name even more
generic. Kexec/kdump is just one of the users of this functionality.

So the idea is whether device is soft resettable or not by the driver.
May be "soft_resettable" or just "resettable" might be a better name.

Thanks
Vivek
