After a fast reboot, the links won't complete training. It seems 
independent of driver load, because I just verified this sequence:

1. Cold boot
2. Do not load driver
3. Fast reboot
4. Load driver
5. Sanity tests fail

During (4), the training doesn't explicitly fail, but I noticed that not 
all the hw procedures are executed--the last one run is 
phy_disable_tx_rxcal (not check_credits), and the GPU memory is not 
onlined.
