Folks,
	I had been discussing an ioctl to set watchdogtimeouts with a
few folks.  Lo-and-behold, we already have it in 2.4.16 (WDIOC_SETTIMOUT).
Yay!.  Here's a patch adding it to all the drivers that support modifiable
timeouts.  The passed timeout is in seconds.  WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT writes to
the passed location the actual timeout set (which is the submitted timout
or rounded up if the card can't do that exact value).  WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT is
also included for completeness.  The WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT flag has been
added to the options returned by WDIOC_GETSUPPORT.  If WDIOF_SETTMEOUT
is set, then WDIOC_{GET,SET}TIMEOUT are available.
