This is a chicken-and-egg problem without an obvious solution.  A
device without a driver is a body without a soul.  A driver without a
device is a ghost without a machine.

... or something like that, don't quote me :)

Absent some very compelling reasoning, I would like to keep the
current order.  It feels logical to me to keep the powerpc/pseries
patches adjacent and prior to the watchdog driver patch.

The *_RESERVED macros are from your draft patch.  I will remove them,
though, we aren't actually using them.

I will trim up the big comment for v2, too.  It's just going to rot
otherwise.  You need to read the PAPR to review the hypercalls,
anyway.

I do not want these changing at runtime.  0444 is the right thing.
