💅 sata_std_hardreset(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about yeeting a SATA link with a COMRESET — but the ✨twist✨ is it does it without waiting and without classifying. it's giving "I pressed the button, I'm not sticking around to see what happens." 💀
