Hmm, I got around to poking at this today and I am not sure kobj_lookup will work. Besides being surrounded with another mutex, I don't have access to the character device domain to pass to kobj_lookup. Perhaps I am not reading the code right, but I can't find a good way forward. The only other hack I can think of, is to embed a list object in the watchdog structure and list_add each new register'd watchdog. Then it would be trivial to walk the watchdog list. Thoughts?
