I made this change because of this post from Felix:

There's no good reason for APM821xx (and probably all other ppc platforms)
to have it as a separate module as it's part of the platform. Most 
other prominent archs (ar71xx, lantiq, ramips, mvebu, ...) have enabled
their platform watchdog in the default kernel configuration as well.

Do you want it back? If so, what's your good reason behind it?
