+ *
+ *           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.
