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