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.
