-        Watchdog Timer Interfaces For The Linux Operating System
-                Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
-             Custom Linux Driver And Program Development
-The following watchdog drivers are currently implemented:
-        ICS     WDT501-P
-        ICS     WDT501-P (no fan tachometer)
-        ICS     WDT500-P
-        Software Only
-        SA1100 Internal Watchdog
-        Berkshire Products PC Watchdog Revision A & C (by Ken Hollis)
-All six interfaces provide /dev/watchdog, which when open must be written
-to within a timeout or the machine will reboot. Each write delays the reboot
-time another timeout. In the case of the software watchdog the ability to 
-reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts. The hardware
-boards physically pull the machine down off their own onboard timers and
-will reboot from almost anything.
-A second temperature monitoring interface is available on the WDT501P cards
-and some Berkshire cards. This provides /dev/temperature. This is the machine 
-internal temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Each read returns a single byte 
-giving the temperature.
-The third interface logs kernel messages on additional alert events.
-Both software and hardware watchdog drivers are available in the standard
-kernel. If you are using the software watchdog, you probably also want
-to use "panic=60" as a boot argument as well.
-The wdt card cannot be safely probed for. Instead you need to pass
-wdt=ioaddr,irq as a boot parameter - eg "wdt=0x240,11".
-The SA1100 watchdog module can be configured with the "sa1100_margin"
-commandline argument which specifies timeout value in seconds.
-The i810 TCO watchdog modules can be configured with the "i810_margin"
-commandline argument which specifies the counter initial value. The counter
-is decremented every 0.6 seconds and default to 50 (30 seconds). Values can
-range between 3 and 63.
-The i810 TCO watchdog driver also implements the WDIOC_GETSTATUS and
-WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS ioctl()s. WDIOC_GETSTATUS returns the actual counter value
-and WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS returns the value of TCO2 Status Register (see Intel's
-documentation for the 82801AA and 82801AB datasheet).
