CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG missing from 2.5.8-dj1

CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG missing from 2.5.8-dj1

[A Guy Called Tyketto]

        Once again, subject sez it all. CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG is mentioned in 
drivers/char/Config.help, but is not a configurable option in any part of make 
{old,x,menu}config. Therefore isn't compiled or even touched:

bradl@bellicha:/usr/src/linux/drivers/char> grep CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG Config.in
bradl@bellicha:/usr/src/linux/drivers/char> 

        Because of this, my software watchdog program refuses to run, as 
softdog.o doesn't exist, which creates /dev/watchdog.

                                                        BL.

I'll fix this up in -dj2 by adding the missing
tristate '  Software Watchdog' CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG
to Config.in

Thanks for pointing it out.

    Dave.
