During module install, disable pretimeout if the requested timeout
value is not greater than the minimal pretimeout value that is
supported by hardware.
This makes the module load handling of pretimeout consistent
with the ioctl handling of pretimeout.

When the pretimeout is specified as a module parameter, the
value should be reflected in hpwdt_dev.pretimeout. The default
(on) case is correct. But, when disabling pretimeout, the value
should be set to zero in hpwdt_dev.
When compiling w/o CONFIG_HPWDT_NMI_DECODING defined, the pretimeout

Make whether or not the hpwdt watchdog delivers a pretimeout NMI
programable by the user.
The underlying iLO hardware is programmable as to whether or not
a pre-timeout NMI is delivered to the system before the iLO resets
the system. However, the iLO does not allow for programming the
length of time that NMI is delivered before the system is reset.
By watchdog API, in hpwdt_set_pretimeout a val == 0 disables the NMI.
When val != 0, hpwdt_set_pretimeout will enable the pretimeout NMI
provided the current timeout is greator than the HW specified
pretimeout length. Otherwise an error is returned.
In set_timeout, if the new timeout is <= an already established pretimeout,
the pretimeout is canceled. This matches the action watchdog_set_timeout
in the watchdog core would do if an hpwdt specific set_timeout
function wasn't specified.

The intent of this parameter is unclear and it sets up a
race between the reset of the system by ASR and crashdump.
The length of time between receipt of the pretimeout NMI
and the ASR reset of the system is fixed by hardware.
Turning the parameter off doesn't necessairly prevent a crash dump.
Also, having the ASR reset occur while the system is crash dumping
doesn't imply that the dump was hung given the short duration
between the NMI and the reset.
This parameter is not a substitute for having a architected watchdog

Gen8 and prior Proliant systems supported the "CRU" interface
to firmware. This interfaces allows linux to "call back" into firmware
to source the cause of an NMI. This feature isn't fully utilized
as the actual source of the NMI isn't printed, the driver only
indicates that the source couldn't be determined when the call
fails.
With the advent of Gen9, iCRU replaces the CRU. The call back
feature is no longer available in firmware. To be compatible and
not attempt to call back into firmware on system not supporting CRU,
the SMBIOS table is consulted to determine if it is safe to
make the call back or not.
This results in about half of the driver code being devoted
to either making CRU calls or determing if it is safe to make
CRU calls. As noted, the driver isn't really using the results of
the CRU calls.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the Spectre security issue, the
BIOS/EFI calls are being wrapped into Spectre-disabling section.
Removing the call back in hpwdt_pretimeout assists in this effort.
As the CRU sourcing of the NMI isn't required for handling the
NMI and there are security concerns with making the call back, remove
the legacy (pre Gen9) NMI sourcing and the DMI code to determine if
the system had the CRU interface.

I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

In discussions with Thomas Mingarelli about hpwdt, he explained
to me some issues they were some when using their virtual NMI
button to test the hpwdt driver.
It turns out the virtual NMI button used on HP's machines do no
send unknown NMIs but instead send IO_CHK NMIs. The way the
kernel code is written, the hpwdt driver can not register itself
against that type of NMI and therefore can not successfully
capture system information before panic'ing.
To solve this I created two new NMI queues to allow driver to
register against the IO_CHK and SERR NMIs. Or in the hpwdt all
three (if you include unknown NMIs too).
The change is straightforward and just mimics what the unknown
NMI does.

The NMI_UNKNOWN bucket only allows for one function to register
to it. The reason for that is because only functions which can
not determine if the NMI belongs to them or not should register
and would like to assume/swallow any NMI they see.
As a result it doesn't make sense to let more than one function
like this register. In fact, letting a second function fail
allows us to know that more than one function is going to
swallow NMIs on the current system. This is better than silently
being ignored.
Therefore hpwdt's priority mechanism doesn't make sense any
more. They will be always first on the NMI_UNKNOWN queue, if
they register.
Removing this parameter cleans up the code and simplifies things
for the next patch which changes how nmis are registered.
