W8/2012R2 are not my guest targets, and I don't have media in any case.

I looked at the linux source code for the ahci driver reset, didn't seem to be doing anything particularly special, and I don't know anything much about PCI bus device resets.

I've iterated this as far as I can see a path, and at the moment I don't have any further ideas, which was one reason I posted, hoping to trigger an idea in someone else.

ESXi was a only a possibility to me, one that has not been fruitful for me over the years, and even though I've kept trying VMware, I keep ending up going some other way.   At this point in time I think Linux KVM will better suit my needs for a Lab in a single box, and it eliminates VMDirectPath requirement too, although searching seems to show the passthru of the AHCI controller works under KVM.
