An agent software called hp-asrd from Hewlett Packard
updates same iLO watchdog timer as hpwdt does update.
So they can not be uses simultaneously.
Add this usage note in hpwdt.txt.

+hpwdt can not work as expected if hp-asrd is running simultaneously.
+Because both hpwdt and hp-asrd update same iLO watchdog timer.

How about adding a note here explaining that hp-asrd is a user space application
from HP (assuming that is what it is) ?
