For the reset on snooze, the adb.c code should register a sleep queue
element to be notified of snooze, and do a reset from it. (For infos
about sleep notifications, look at other drivers like the chipsfb).

The reset is currently done thru a function pointer filled by the
low-level driver (be careful, it could be NULL). You should find it by
looking at adb.c code.

As far as plug/unplug is concerned, this could be done by adding a ioctl
to the ADB driver.

I have already done part of those in experimental hacks here, if you can
wait one or two weeks, I'll clean all this up and make patches. If you
can't then implement them yourself, it's not very complicated. I'm too
busy to finish that stuff now.
