Well, new version and location of the big watchdog patch.  Work continues on
getting it integrated into the mainline kernel.  Patches are now at
http://junker.org/~rradez/wd/
Patches are against 2.4.19-pre9 and 2.4.19-pre9-ac3.  Little is changed
functionally, just a resync against newer kernels.  The patches are a lot
smaller this time since Marcelo took the changes to advantechwdt.c and
sc1200wdt.c.  Diffstat follows.

Howdy,

I've updated my big watchdog patch to 2.4.20-pre1.  New changes include:
adding error handling to initialization,
fixing pci_enable_device calls,
adding in the C99 struct initializers,
remove the entry in MAINTAINERS for the pcwd driver.

I've stopped tracking the 2.4-ac tree because I'm planning to start adding in
Configure.help, Config.in, and Makefile changes, as well as hopefully starting
to track 2.5 (or 2.5-dj, one or the other).

Patch is up at http://osinvestor.com/wd/wd-2.4.20-pre1-1.diff

Rob Radez
