watchdog: update/improve/consolidate watchdog driver

Browse Source 
Move the limited watchdog driver help from kernel-parameters.txt
to Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt and add info to it
for all watchdog drivers except the ones that have driver-specific
files already.

Correct minor comments and MODULE_PARM_DESC() text in 2 places.

This file provides information on the module parameters of many of
the Linux watchdog drivers. Watchdog driver parameter specs should
be listed here unless the driver has its own driver-specific information
file.
See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for information on
providing kernel parameters for builtin drivers versus loadable
modules.

A second temperature monitoring interface is available on the WDT501P cards
A second temperature monitoring interface is available on the WDT501P cards.
This provides /dev/temperature. This is the machine internal temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit. Each read returns a single byte giving the temperature.
The third interface logs kernel messages on additional alert events.
The wdt card cannot be safely probed for. Instead you need to pass
wdt=ioaddr,irq as a boot parameter - eg "wdt=0x240,11".
The ICS ISA-bus wdt card cannot be safely probed for. Instead you need to
pass IO address and IRQ boot parameters. E.g.:
wdt.io=0x240 wdt.irq=11
Other "wdt" driver parameters are:
heartbeat Watchdog heartbeat in seconds (default 60)
nowayout Watchdog cannot be stopped once started (kernel
build parameter)
