Re: Fix IPMI watchdog set_param_str() using kstrdup

  set_param_str() cannot use kstrdup() to duplicate the parameter. That's
fine when the driver is compiled as a module but it sure is not when

kmalloc slabs are setup.

Aah. I wonder though, if we could defer parsing driver parameters
until kmalloc caches are up...
