Without this drivers that don't clear the state themselves can see off
effects.  For example Hyper-V VMs using the storvsc driver will often
hang during boot due to uncleared Test Unit Ready failures.

Hello Christoph,

Since this code is in the hot path: please combine the two memset()
calls into a single memset() call.

Thanks,

Bart.
