1f6ef23429 [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.

This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).

But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this.  Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

The old setup works better.

58c2709c2b Revert "[WATCHDOG] make watchdog/hpwdt.c:asminline_call() static"
The driver needs the asmlinkage tag and the CFLAGS line in the Makefile.
Without it the driver doesn't work.

7f7f894c6d [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Fix NMI handling.
I need to just return in case it's not my NMI so someone else can take a look
at it (and reset die_nmi_called to 0 in case I actually do get one that's mine
to handle).

8b1266f43d [WATCHDOG] make watchdog/hpwdt.c:asminline_call() static
This patch makes the needlessly global asminline_call() static and 
removes the not required "asmlinkage".

30ec910e02 [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Use dmi_walk() instead of own copy
We can simplify the code by deleting all of the duplicated DMI table
walking code and using the kernel's existing dmi_walk() interface to
find the DMI entry the driver is looking for.

ef82710a3f [WATCHDOG] Fix return value warning in hpwdt
The return value of smbios_scan_machine() is never used, and when it
succeeds it doesn't return anything, so just make it void.  This fixes:

    drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c: In function 'smbios_scan_machine':
    drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c:562: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

103018aca2 [WATCHDOG] Fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point in hpwdt
On my HP DL380 G5 system running a 64-bit kernel, loading the hpwdt
driver causes a crash because the driver attempts to ioremap an
invalid physical address.  This is because the driver has an incorrect
definition of the SMBIOS table entry point structure: the table
address is only a 32-bit quantity, and making it a u64 means that the
high-order 32 bits end up containing garbage.

Correcting the structure definition fixes the driver so that it loads
without any problems on my system.

7f4da4745c [WATCHDOG] HP ProLiant WatchDog driver
Hp is providing a Hardware WatchDog Timer driver that will only work with the
specific HW Timer located in the HP ProLiant iLO 2 ASIC. The iLO 2 HW Timer
will generate a Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI) 9 seconds before physically
resetting the server, by removing power, so that the event can be logged to
the HP Integrated Management Log (IML), a Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM). The logging of the event is performed using the HP ProLiant ROM via
an Industry Standard access known as a BIOS Service Directory Entry.
