PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level.  The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.

One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception.  It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point.  If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.

Command line parameters:
  wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
  wdt=1 : enable watchdog

  wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.

  The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
  User Manual for the processor for more details.

This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is
provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value
is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and
can therefore also do user space monitoring.

On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does
not have much to report with event-scan.

The driver should also work on other platforms that support
the OS surveillance rtas calls.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
