Indeed, this is my expectation. IIRC the hardware watchdog initially
defined in SBSA was intended for bare metal use to have something people
could start implementing while we worked on the future (the language
around register frames relates to secure/non-secure ELs in my
recollection). For now, I expect an emulated watchdog for VMs, which
ideally would be a software implementation of the same SBSA watchdog.
