239 GETSUPPORT returns the watchdog_info struct, and
240 GETSTATUS returns the supported options. GETBOOTSTATUS
241 returns a 1 if the last reset was caused by the
242 watchdog and a 0 otherwise. This watchdog can not be
243 disabled once it has been started. The wdt_period kernel
244 parameter selects which bit of the time base changing
245 from 0->1 will trigger the watchdog exception. Changing
246 the timeout from the ioctl calls will change the
247 wdt_period as defined above. Finally if you would like to
248 replace the default Watchdog Handler you can implement the
249 WatchdogHandler() function in your own code.
