Looks great to me.  Thank you for the suggestions Tomasz, as always.

We need to come up with a solution for the CPU_FREQ stuff in
s3c2410_wdt too.  We could use a similar solution but since the
CPU_FREQ stuff in s3c2410_wdt is more than just an optimization it
means that it's not good if S3C24XX is included in a multiplatform
kernel.  (For the watchdog it's more than just an optimization since
every frequency transition actually pets the watchdog, making it
useless when you transition several times per second).
