+          Hardware driver for the intel TCO timer based watchdog devices.
+          These drivers are included in the Intel 82801 I/O Controller
+          Hub family 'from ICH0 up to ICH7) and in the Intel 6300ESB
+          controller hub.
+
+          The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a watchdog timer
+          that will reboot the machine after its second expiration. The
+          expiration time can be configured with the "heartbeat" parameter.
+
+          On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
+          NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
+          machine. If this is the case you will get a kernel message like
+          "failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware".
