This feature is very useful in embedded systems, to avoid cases where the system hangs before reaching userspace. This feature can be enabled in the kernel config, so it can be also used when the watchdog driver is build as "built-in". This parameter involves the "core" section of the watchdog driver; in this way it is common for all the watchdog hardware implementations.
