18 * Software only watchdog driver. Unlike its big brother the WDT501P
19 * driver this won't always recover a failed machine.
21 * 03/96: Angelo Haritsis <ah@doc.ic.ac.uk> :
23 * Added soft_margin; use upon insmod to change the timer delay.
24 * NB: uses same minor as wdt (WATCHDOG_MINOR); we could use separate
28 * Made SMP safe for 2.3.x
30 * 20011127 Joel Becker (jlbec@evilplan.org>
31 * Added soft_noboot; Allows testing the softdog trigger without
32 * requiring a recompile.
33 * Added WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT and WDIOC_SETTIMOUT.
35 * 20020530 Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
36 * Added Matt Domsch's nowayout module option.
