+support for the watchdog interrupt timer present on

+.Pp
+The ICH WDT counts down in ticks of approximately 0.6 seconds; the
+exact value depends on hardware quality and environmental factors.
+Supported watchdog intervals range from 2 to 63 ticks.
+.Pp
+Note that on some ICH-based systems, the WDT may be present but

+The

+driver attempts to detect this condition and will refuse to attach if
+it believes the WDT is disabled.
