               Default value is set when compiling the kernel. If it is set

               to "Y", then there is no way of disabling the watchdog once

               it has been started.

 kdumptimeout  Minimum timeout in seconds to apply upon receipt of an NMI

               before calling panic. (-1) disables the watchdog.  When value

               is > 0, the timer is reprogrammed with the greater of

               value or current timeout value.



 NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl

       interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in
