Hi all,
this small patch fixes stupid bug in i810 TCO watchdog driver.
This bug was created by me (ugh) along with i815/i8[2456]0 support.

Hi,
I would like to use a kernel debugger to set some breakpoints in some
of the kernel functions. In SVR4 and unixware we use kdb. What is its
equivalent in linux? Please tell me where the kernel debugger can be
downloaded for linux.
Thanks in advance,

Some tests that I have recently check out.

Here's an updated version of the patch - the only real difference is
that rio500.c will printk an error message if devfs_register() fails.
I left that out originally because devfs logs the error, but it's
probably a good idea to indicate which driver made the request.

in cases we actually found a page, this prevents the inactive
