Standard SCSI device has host_reset sysfs interface.
This patch exports the host_reset interface for upper layer.

Hello Bart,

It's my mistake to miss 0000-cover-letter.patch file including description.

I'm testing SCSI devices which are exported by the remote servers via IB 
network. I know that SCSI error handling mechanism calls reset-host when 
something wrong happens. But the SCSI error handling tries sending ABORT 
commands and other actions before resetting host. I found that those 
ABORT commands could generate more stress on the remove server. So I 
need to reset SCSI host (which mean reconnecting) when the remote server 
starts to become slow or have some problem to handle IO.

And I think I can use some utilities for SCSI device, such like sg3 
utils, to handle srp connection.

Thank you for your reply.

Best regards,
Gioh Kim
