I think watchdog (wd1100) is still needed on WRAP.  These days I play 
iwpriv with madwifi and got kernel panic and it gets reboot in a few 
seconds.  But I know shutdown -h is problematic with wd1100, let me 
check if I can support graceful shutdown in future. ( I remembered I had 
seen the code for this).

Beat, can you elaborate more about the new "section" for including 
reboot patches?
