wdog_kern_pat: liberate from SW_WATCHDOG

2012-05-16 Thread Andriy Gapon
I would like to commit something like the following patch. I think that in-kernel watchdog patting during crash dump is useful with hardware watchdogs too. The code seems to work fine here. In fact, I am not sure why wdog_kern_pat was originally tied to SW_WATCHDOG. commit 59329ca52f5e25266772f1
