Like this one (untested beside compilation) below?

btw. other watchdog drivers use:

if(test_and_set_bit(0, &wdt_is_open))
return -EBUSY;

while ipmi does just:
ipmi_wdog_open = 0;

should it also use bit operations or setting =0 is just fine?

Patch:

- support disabling watchdog by writting ,,V'' to device.
- unify printk()
