After looking at the current BitKeeper 2.4 development tree on source.mvista.com, it looks like the use of the hardware watchdog timer was discontinued at some point in favor of using the general purpose timer. The watchdog exception interrupt isn't used, and it's only configurable for PPC405 (although I think that the technique would work for the whole 4xx family).
Or am I misreading the code? It would also be nice if your patch were applied to the 2.6 kernel tree.
