This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Looking at the current upstream sources for watchdog, it seems that the patch in question, here did not make it upstream, yet. However, I'd be ok to maintain the patch in rhel 6 (if QE is OK with that) given that we have already switched to systemd in rhel 7 -> setting devel_ack+.
