    watchdog: Cleanup WATCHDOG_CORE help text
    
    The newly added WATCHDOG_CORE option is a bool, but the help text suggests
    it can be built as a module.  Fix it up.

    watchdog: Fix POST failure on ASUS P5N32-E SLI and similar boards
    
    At present the module does not unset the NO_REBOOT bit upon shutdown, this
    causes the BIOS to fail the POST once and reset. During the next boot it
    displays the following error message:
    
    ***** Warning: System BOOT Fail *****
    Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted.
    Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
    Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP
    
    With this patch the NO_REBOOT flag will be unset on shutdown and thus stop
    this failure from occurring.
    
    Tested on 'ASUS P5N32-E SLI with BIOS revision 1801' and
              'ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS with BIOS revision 1502'.

    watchdog: shwdt: fix usage of mod_timer
    
    Fix the usage of mod_timer() and make the driver usable. mod_timer() must
    be called with an absolute timeout in jiffies. The old implementation
    used a relative timeout thus the hardware watchdog was never triggered.
