NAME
    CMD_RESET - Reset the device to a known state
SYNOPSIS
    Standard device command.
FUNCTION
    Resets the device as though it has just be initialized.
    Aborts all read/write requests whether active of enqueued.
    Restarts device if it has been stopped.
INPUTS
    Valid IORequest block with the io_Command field set to CMD_RESET.
    A valid IORequest block is one with its io_Message structure, and

    IORequest block after a successful OpenDevice call.
