This part add's the basic ioctl functionality to the
WatchDog Timer Driver Core framework. The supported
ioctl call's are:
	WDIOC_GETSUPPORT
	WDIOC_GETSTATUS
	WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS

The WatchDog Timer Driver Core is a framework
that contains the common code for all watchdog-driver's.
It also introduces a watchdog device structure and the
operations that go with it.

This is the introduction of this framework. This part
supports the minimal watchdog userspace API (or with
other words: the functionality to use /dev/watchdog's
open, release and write functionality as defined in
the simplest watchdog API). Extra functionality will
follow in the next set of patches.

Some watchdog drivers have the ability to report the remaining time
before the system will reboot. With the WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl
you can now read the time left before the watchdog would reboot
your system.

The following drivers support this new IOCTL:
i8xx_tco.c, pcwd_pci.c and pcwd_usb.c .

Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which
occurs some time before the real timeout.  The pretimeout can
be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic
the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead
of a blind reboot).

Attached patch removes #ifdef CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT mess duplicated in
almost every watchdog driver and replaces it with common define in
linux/watchdog.h.

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!
