+ Hardware driver for the intel TCO timer based watchdog devices.
+ These drivers are included in the Intel 82801 I/O Controller
+ Hub family (from ICH0 up to ICH10) and in the Intel 63xxESB
+ controller hub.
+
+ The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a watchdog timer
+ that will reboot the machine after its second expiration.
+
+ On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
+ NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
+ machine.
