[ Andrew: not submitted ]

Hi Wim.

I'm going over a list of drivers that break the boot of randconfig 
kernels by keeping resources busy:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/1/96

and eurotechwdt and plain wdt are in that list. Below is an eurotechwdt 
that makes passing in io and irq values mandatory as to keep that from 
happening.

I saw pcwd was already isafied and followed that -- due to the comment 
in eurwdt_release() though, I'm not sure about a .shutdown() method.

Do you want this in the first place? The randconfig testing does find 
actual bugs so it is useful.

I'll do wdt and the other applicable ones in there as well if yes.

Rene.
