Dan,

I think you were working a different, USB-related issues.

My task is a bit different.  The goal is not to power cycle the USRPs - its
to re-initialize and resume after and power cycle, without intervention
from an external executive or operator.  (ie. by some task that monitors
for a stop in dataflow and then perhaps calls a re-init function in gr-uhd,
or rebuilds a flowgraph entirely)
