Merge with 2.4.0-test1-ac21 + pile of MIPS cleanups to make merging
possible. Chainsawed RM200 kernel to compile again. Jazz machine status unknown.

+ *
+ * 12/4 - 2000 [Initial revision]
+ * 25/4 - 2000 Added /dev/watchdog support
+ *
+ *
+ * Theory of operation:
+ * A Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a hardware circuit that can
+ * reset the computer system in case of a software fault.
+ * You probably knew that already.
+ *
+ * Usually a userspace daemon will notify the kernel WDT driver
+ * via the /proc/watchdog special device file that userspace is
+ * still alive, at regular intervals. When such a notification
+ * occurs, the driver will usually tell the hardware watchdog
+ * that everything is in order, and that the watchdog should wait
+ * for yet another little while to reset the system.
+ * If userspace fails (RAM error, kernel bug, whatever), the
+ * notifications cease to occur, and the hardware watchdog will
+ * reset the system (causing a reboot) after the timeout occurs.
+ *
+ * This WDT driver is different from the other Linux WDT
+ * drivers in several ways:
+ * *) The driver will ping the watchdog by itself, because this
+ * particular WDT has a very short timeout (one second) and it
+ * would be insane to count on any userspace daemon always
+ * getting scheduled within that time frame.
+ * *) This driver expects the userspace daemon to send a specific
+ * character code ('V') to /dev/watchdog before closing the
+ * /dev/watchdog file. If the userspace daemon closes the file
+ * without sending this special character, the driver will assume
+ * that the daemon (and userspace in general) died, and will
+ * stop pinging the WDT without disabling it first. This will
+ * cause a reboot.
+ *
+ * Why `V' ? Well, `V' is the character in ASCII for the value 86,
+ * and we all know that 86 is _the_ most random number in the universe.
+ * Therefore it is the letter that has the slightest chance of occuring
+ * by chance, when the system becomes corrupted.
