Correct, my bad.

I've been reading the data sheets for the SC2200 and it seems as if
the watchdog is gone from the integrated SuperI/O, so you should use
my driver instead.  Zwane Mwaikambo's driver ought to work on the
NatSemi PC97317 SuperI/O.  Hm, I think I have some hardware that I
should be able to test that on.

Oh well, I think I'll just submit my driver to Marcelo and see what
happens.  I've cleaned up the driver a bit since the last time I
tried.
