Subject: Removal of IPMI watchdog features

I am considering moving the IPMI watchdog over to the standard
watchdog framework.  This will require the removal of the feature
that provides a byte of read data when the pretimeout occurs,
since that is not available in the standard framework.

Before I remove this, I thought I would ask: Is anyone using
this feature?  If they are, I'll need to rething what is done.

Thanks,
