This series adds a new kernel command line option to watchdog core to

Some of the watchdog drivers stop function could sleep. For such
drivers the stop_on_panic is not valid as the notifier callback happens
in atomic context. Introduce WDIOF_STOP_MAYSLEEP flag to watchdog_info
options to indicate whether the stop function would sleep.

Should you only enable this if the kdump is enabled in the kernel configuration?
