Fast-reset should work most of the times so I think it should be
default. Its also the current default which I am bit relunctant to
change.

We usually need full IPL reset only when we need to update skiboot or
have malfunctioning device that isnt being reset properly during
fast-reset. So I am believe full IPL resets will be less frequent hence
should be explicitly requested.
