What are your plans for this, i.e. do you see this as 2.7 only stuff or do you intend to merge the at least the infrastructure code so it can be used by future 2.6 drivers? I'm asking because I have a new driver and I would prefer not to add yet another copy of the ioctl code, which I don't even know how to test properly. If we can get your watchdog.c into a mergable state (in which it arguably isn't at the moment), I could use that to base my driver on, while the other drivers get converted during 2.7.
