4d389dcea8 [WATCHDOG] clean-up watchdog documentation
Random sampling of some URLs in the Documentation tree to see how many were
stale found that one watchdog driver was now a porn site.  In fact if the
watchdogs document directory was any older it would be written in latin

Clean it up somewhat and add Last reviewed headers, something all the
Documentation could do with IMHO.

84eb8d0608 Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig
Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
understand why this rule exists.  This patch fixes "can not" in several
Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

56fb9e5346 [WATCHDOG] Documentation/watchdog update
Documentation/watchdog/:
Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in
their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.

This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to janitors who would update them if they were more visible.

Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

58b519f3e5 [WATCHDOG] add WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl
Some watchdog drivers have the ability to report the remaining time
before the system will reboot. With the WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl
you can now read the time left before the watchdog would reboot
your system.

The following drivers support this new IOCTL:
i8xx_tco.c, pcwd_pci.c and pcwd_usb.c .

e05b59fe79 [WATCHDOG] Pre-Timeout flags
Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which
occurs some time before the real timeout.  The pretimeout can
be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic
the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead
of a blind reboot).

a2f40ccd29 [PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog Timer
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level.  The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.

One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception.  It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point.  If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.

Command line parameters:
  wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
  wdt=1 : enable watchdog

  wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.

  The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
  User Manual for the processor for more details.

This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
