+ *	Software only watchdog driver. Unlike its big brother the WDT501P
+ *	driver this won't always recover a failed machine.
+ *
+ *  03/96: Angelo Haritsis <ah@doc.ic.ac.uk> :
+ *	Modularised.
+ *	Added soft_margin; use upon insmod to change the timer delay.
+ *	NB: uses same minor as wdt (WATCHDOG_MINOR); we could use separate
+ *	    minors.
+ *
+ *  19980911 Alan Cox
+ *	Made SMP safe for 2.3.x
+ *
+ *  20011127 Joel Becker (jlbec@evilplan.org>
+ *	Added soft_noboot; Allows testing the softdog trigger without 
+ *	requiring a recompile.
+ *	Added WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT and WDIOC_SETTIMOUT.
