Ah, correct. I missed those. I'll fix it soon. Thanks for pointing out.

Depends on the watchdog device driver. The Book-E driver doesn't seem to need 
anything here, AFAIK. I suggest you enable the debug early-printk feature 
and/or look the __log_buf to see how far Linux really comes. This is not U-
Boot realted any more though. So further questions/mails should be moved to 
linuxppc-dev.

Cheers,
Stefan
