Subject: [PATCH 0/4][V3] Improve watchdog config for arch watchdogs

Since last time:

- Have the perf based hardlockup detector use arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
  rather than hld_touch_nmi_watchdog(). This changes direction slightly
  to make the perf-based hard lockup detector an alternative that an
  arch may select, rather than standalone. This better reflects how the
  code works in practice).

- Hopefully fixed the Kconfig options. There's still a bit of ugliness
  that will require another pass or two over interfaces and config
  scheme, but the idea is to make a minimal change to get the powerpc
  HLD in, which gives a reasonable starting point to improve things
  further.

Nicholas Piggin (4):
  watchdog: remove unused declaration
  watchdog: Introduce arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
  watchdog: Split up config options
  watchdog: Provide watchdog_reconfigure() for arch watchdogs
