The ahci reset failure for the guest os may be a particular bug for esxi 5.5 (update 1). I had the same thing with an Asmedia ASM 106x ahci controller which was directly passed trough on esxi 5.5 update 1, while on esxi 5.1 update 1 the controller worked very well. In esxi 5.5 update 2 it also works fine again. So you may be on to something. Can you or someone else reproduce those steps with esxi 5.5 update 2? In fact it may be possible that it will work. I am not an expert on esxi and it looks a bit complicated so I am not going to try it myself, but I am curious if it works.

As for the better Lynx Point support in esxi 5.5 update 2, I can tell you that only support for the raid modus of the Lynx Point sata controller is added. But it is still not possible to pass it trough in ahci mode or in raid mode.
