   [WATCHDOG] i8xx_tco.c-request_region-patch
   
   Fix: in i8xx_tco.c, during the initialisation, the driver accesses io
   without checking if the port is free.


The ChangeSets can also be looked at on:
	http://linux-watchdog.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6-watchdog

For completeness, I added the patches below.

Greetings,
Wim.
