ipmi watchdog : add panic_wdt_timeout parameter
In order to allow panic actions to be processed, the ipmi watchdog driver sets a new timeout value on panic. The 255s timeout was designed to allow kdump and others actions on panic, as in http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0711.3/0258.html This is counter-intuitive for a end-user who sets watchdog timeout value to something like 30s and who expects BMC to reset the system within 30s of a panic. This commit allows user to configure the timeout on panic. Signed-off-by: Jean-Yves Faye <jean-yves.faye@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
