ok

if you merge the piece below (which is just the core), I can do the WARN()
part later when the dust has settled (it's a one liner anyway pretty much)

Subject: Print the driver name as part of the WATCHDOG message

This patch adds a function to get the driver name from a struct net_device,
and consequently uses this in the watchdog timeout handler to print as 
part of the message.
