2008-03-06	[WATCHDOG] Fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point in hpwdt	Roland Dreier
	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.

2008-02-18	[WATCHDOG] HP ProLiant WatchDog driver	Thomas Mingarelli
	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.
