With "zpcictl --reset DDDD:BB:FF.F" now causing a fully Linux driven
reset where the Linux kernel does an explicit device driver unbind,
disable and re-enable, let's also expose a way to instead have firmware
perform a device reset by issuing an SCLP with SCLP_ERRNOTIFY_RESET.
When firmware is done resetting the device it will then issue an error
notification with PCI Error Code 0x3a indicating successful reset, which
will subsequently cause the new kernel based automatic recovery
mechanism to perform recovery in coordination with the device driver.
This allows resetting devices without unbinding them from their device
driver and thus without losing related block devices or network
interfaces. This may also be used to test the automatic recovery
mechanism.

zpcictl is used to manage PCI devices on z Systems. In this first
version it is mainly used to handle erroneous PCI devices by changing
their state and make those changes known to the SE. Log data, such as
S.M.A.R.T. data for NVMe devices, is sent alongside those state changes.
The state change is issued by sending data via the PCI 'report_error'
sysfs attribute. It's a binary attribute which will cause the host to
send an Adapter Notification Event.
