Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Add vendor specific support to the intel TCO timer based watchdog
devices. At this moment we only have additional support for some
SuperMicro Inc. motherboards.

gcc emits the following warning:
drivers/char/watchdog/iTCO_wdt.c: In function ‘iTCO_wdt_ioctl’:
drivers/char/watchdog/iTCO_wdt.c:429: warning: ‘time_left’ may be used uninitialized in this function
This indicates a condition near enough to a bug, to want to fix.
iTCO_wdt_get_timeleft() stores a value in 'time_left' iff
iTCO_version==(1 or 2). This driver only supports versions
1 or 2, so this is ok. However, since (a) the return value of
iTCO_wdt_get_timeleft() is handled anyway, (b) it fixes the warning,
and (c) it future-proofs the driver, we go ahead and add the obvious
return value.

Return ENOTTY instead of ENOIOCTLCMD in user-visible ioctl() results
The watchdog drivers used to return ENOIOCTLCMD for bad ioctl() commands.
ENOIOCTLCMD should not be visible by the user, so use ENOTTY instead.

Since we are using the device driver model,
we don't need to arrange the shutdown via a
reboot_notifier.

for_each_pci_dev calls pci_get_device (and thus
it calls pci_dev_get). So we need to do a pci_dev_put
to keep the refcounting correct.

Hardware driver for the intel TCO timer based watchdog devices.
These drivers are included in the Intel 82801 I/O Controller
Hub family (from ICH0 up to ICH7) and in the Intel 6300ESB
controller hub.
This driver will replace the i8xx_tco.c driver.
