At Redhat's request, this adds a sysfs host attribute to indicate whether
the reset_devices kernel parameter can be honored by the device.  This enables 
kexec tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a non-resettable device
as the dump device.  If the device is not resettable, kdump won't work.
