Must this be set? Actually I want that one can stop the watchdog gracefully. And this is done by writting a 'V' to /dev/watchdog, correct?
I noticed that CONFIG_WATCHDOG is also not set since CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG is set under IPMI. Must this be set? Is the IPMI watchdog different to all the other watchdogs or why is it listed seperatly?
