 *           12/4 - 2000      [Initial revision]
 *           25/4 - 2000      Added /dev/watchdog support
 *
 *
 *  Theory of operation:
 *  A Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a hardware circuit that can 
 *  reset the computer system in case of a software fault.
 *  You probably knew that already.
 *
 *  Usually a userspace daemon will notify the kernel WDT driver
 *  via the /proc/watchdog special device file that userspace is
 *  still alive, at regular intervals.  When such a notification
 *  occurs, the driver will usually tell the hardware watchdog
 *  that everything is in order, and that the watchdog should wait
 *  for yet another little while to reset the system.
 *  If userspace fails (RAM error, kernel bug, whatever), the
 *  notifications cease to occur, and the hardware watchdog will
 *  reset the system (causing a reboot) after the timeout occurs.
 *
 *  This WDT driver is different from the other Linux WDT 
 *  drivers in several ways:
 *  *)  The driver will ping the watchdog by itself, because this
 *      particular WDT has a very short timeout (one second) and it
 *      would be insane to count on any userspace daemon always
 *      getting scheduled within that time frame.
 *  *)  This driver expects the userspace daemon to send a specific
 *      character code ('V') to /dev/watchdog before closing the
 *      /dev/watchdog file.  If the userspace daemon closes the file
 *      without sending this special character, the driver will assume
 *      that the daemon (and userspace in general) died, and will
 *      stop pinging the WDT without disabling it first.  This will
 *      cause a reboot.
 *
 *  Why `V' ?  Well, `V' is the character in ASCII for the value 86,
 *  and we all know that 86 is _the_ most random number in the universe.
 *  Therefore it is the letter that has the slightest chance of occuring
 *  by chance, when the system becomes corrupted.
