Subject[PATCH 0/6] Subset of watchdog fixes
Date
These have been pending since May with Wim occasionally surfacing to promise
something will happen then vanishing again with nothing moved on.

The patch set is a tiny subset of the complete set of patches to clean up the
locking bugs, switch to unlocked_ioctl and the like for watchdog drivers

These specific ones are the ones that
- Remove use of inb_p() on PCI bus which is unsafe with some newer boxes
- Switch from using a sempahore held across the return to user space for
watchdog locking - and thus help remove more users of down_trylock.

stupidity illegal, support truth, justice, and the IETF way, and generally
demonstrate the author is a brilliant and valuable Contributor to The
Standards Process." -- Vernon Schryver
