| sg_reset exercises the SCSI device/bus/host reset capability. It is |
| supported by the sg driver in lk 2.2.16 and beyond but associated |
| SCSI middle level driver changes were not been accepted into the |
| official kernel for some time. Many distributions contain the patch to |
| the mid-level that activates this feature. The required patch first |
| officially appeared in the kernel in lk 2.4.19 . |
