   Why not do this in drivers/watchdog/booke_wdt.c -- WatchdogHandler() is a weak symbol?

   This partly duplicates printk() in WatchdogException().

  These regs are later dumped by show_regs() anyway.

   Does specifying loglevel on non '\n' terminated lines really make sense?  I suspect all what you'll get will be ugly output with <3> insterted here and there.

   A typo here.

   Not even giving it a chance? That's cruel. :-)
   Seriously, this seems too specific watchdog behavior to be here.
