fb8f7ba077 [WATCHDOG] Semi-typical watchdog bug re early misc_register()
It seems that some watchdog drivers are doing following mistake:

	rv = misc_register();
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	rv = request_region();
	if (rv < 0) {
		misc_deregister();
		return rv;
	}

But, right after misc_register() returns, misc device can be opened and
ioctls interacting with hardware issued, and driver can do outb() to
port it doesn't own yet, because request_region() is still pending.

Here is my patch, compile-tested only.

795b89d207 [WATCHDOG] use ENOTTY instead of ENOIOCTLCMD in ioctl()
Return ENOTTY instead of ENOIOCTLCMD in user-visible ioctl() results

The watchdog drivers used to return ENOIOCTLCMD for bad ioctl() commands.
ENOIOCTLCMD should not be visible by the user, so use ENOTTY instead.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

266aa1c4b3 [WATCHDOG] driver-for-ibm-automatic-server-restart-watchdog-fix2.patch
The device/watchdog has a fixed timeout/heartbeat.
So we don't support the WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl call
and we also may not set the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT flag.

d532134d4c [WATCHDOG] driver-for-ibm-automatic-server-restart-watchdog.patch
This patch adds driver for IBM Automatic Server Restart watchdog hardware
found in some IBM eServer xSeries machines.  This driver is based on the ugly
driver provided by IBM.  Driver was tested on IBM eServer 226.
