+ *
+ *
+ *  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 most other Linux WDT
+ *  drivers in that the driver will ping the watchdog by itself,
+ *  because this particular WDT has a very short timeout (1.6
+ *  seconds) and it would be insane to count on any userspace
+ *  daemon always getting scheduled within that time frame.
