+	  Hardware driver for OCTEON's on chip watchdog timer.
+	  Enables the watchdog for all cores running Linux. It
+	  installs a NMI handler and pokes the watchdog based on an
+	  interrupt.  On first expiration of the watchdog, the
+	  interrupt handler pokes it.  The second expiration causes an
+	  NMI that prints a message. The third expiration causes a
+	  global soft reset.
+
+	  When userspace has /dev/watchdog open, no poking is done
+	  from the first interrupt, it is then only poked when the
+	  device is written.
