    [PATCH] ppc64: add a watchdog driver for rtas · 031f7ede

    Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is
    provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value
    is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and
    can therefore also do user space monitoring.
    
    On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does
    not have much to report with event-scan.
    
    The driver should also work on other platforms that support
    the OS surveillance rtas calls.
