I think creating another watchdog module 06wdt does not make much sense.
Eiter this logic needs to be merged into existing watchdog module 04wdt
or we modify kdump module to load watchdog drivers in kdump initramfs
as a short term approach till we can convince harald that keeping this
logic in 04watchdog is a good idea.
