have seen.  It doesnt get along with iec61883 shutting down the last 
plug/connection (when n_p2p_connections would be come 0).  It also doesnt 
allow you to change the firewire channel, seems to be hardcoded to the 
node number the device currently is.  I guess thankfully this is how I am 
picking the channel in the p2p.diff patch.

The attached script is what came of this, which is run before starting 
mythbackend.  It requires firewire_tester from svn last night, which adds 
a firewire bus reset.  There are some config options at the top, but 
should only need to change the NODES variable to list the node or nodes 
for fixing.  It will attempt to fix up the $NODES by doing plugctl bits 
and firewire_tester to verify its stable.
