I sent fixes for all of those to the watchdog maintainer in May. The patches are still sitting with the maintainer. They all convert to proper locking rather than sem abuse, clean up all the coding style and fix numerous bugs plus remove BKL requirements.
Wim it appears is still trying to get real life stuff sorted out so I think at this point we really need a new watchdog maintainer.
(See series of 57 patches "watchdog: Giant scrub" about 19th May)
