Building it now, and will be able to test in about 5 hours.

After looking at the thread, I spent another couple hours on poking
/sys, and did get the port to come back up and find the drive with the
following:

echo on > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/power/control
echo on > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/host4/power/control
echo '- - -' > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/host4/scsi_host/host4/scan
