+ * This watchdog fires after 250msec, which is a too short interval
+ * for us to rely on the user space daemon alone. So we ping the
+ * wdt each ~200msec and eventually stop doing it if the user space
+ * daemon dies.

+ * TODO:
+ *
+ *	- Test last reset from watchdog status
+ *	- Add a few missing ioctls
