Hi Grant:

O.k., thanks for your comments. =A0If Wim doesn't have any objections to =

 think it's a real problem.

I'm not too worried about this.  It is also potentially possible to
rework the entire GPT driver as a module.  But there are non-trivial
architecture fiddly bits needed to make it safe to load IRQ
controllers in a module.
I think we still should keep the kernel config option enable/disable the =
wdt support, which would mask out the wdt code if disabled. =A0Is that ok f=
or you?

Yup.
