Intel SCU Watchdog Timer Driver for Moorestown and Medfield platforms.

From: Donald Johnson <[email protected]>

This submission includes:
- Fix to intel_scu_write() to start watchdog timer the on the first write, and refresh on subsequent writes.
This enables Open, write, write, ... usage model.
- Moves boot parameter checks from intel_scu_open() to intel_scu_watchdog_init(), so driver init will fail if these parameters are out of bounds.
- Adds check for whether process waiting in wait_event_interruptible() received a signal while it was waiting.
- Other small error handling changes.

Hi Alan,

Will review it and add it to linux-2.6-watchdog-next in the coming 2 weeks.

Kind regards,
Wim.
