I'm not a big fan of hardcoding the internal register window size in a
driver. I would have preferred to have used the offset between the
watchdog registers and the rstout register, but since this one is
*before* the watchdog registers, it would have to be a negative offset.
Not sure how to handle this.

Why is it called "try" ? It actually does the mapping. So I would
prefer the function to be named:

	orion_wdt_ioremap_rstout()
