The same would be true for the Alpha or for the PowerPC.  What I was
hoping was that there might be a standard way to reset the card or

Yeah--unfortunately not too handy for the average person dealing with a
single-user workstation getting kernel panics and just wanting to get a
register dump or stack trace...
