Looking at other WDT,  I see at least three  that have an "action"
parameter.  These appear to have inconsistent semantics with each 
other and this patch.

Is there something we could to create more uniformity with module
level parameters like these?


Examples:

machzwd.c:
MODULE_PARM_DESC(action, "after watchdog resets, generate: "
                                "0 = RESET(*)  1 = SMI  2 = NMI  3 = SCI");

pseries-wdt.c
static const unsigned long pseries_wdt_action[] = {
        [0] = PSERIES_WDTF_ACTION_HARD_POWEROFF,
	[1] = PSERIES_WDTF_ACTION_HARD_RESTART,
	[2] = PSERIES_WDTF_ACTION_DUMP_RESTART,

sbsa_gwdt.c
MODULE_PARM_DESC(action, "after watchdog gets WS0 interrupt, do: "
                 "0 = skip(*)  1 = panic");
