the HW_WDOG option attempts to keep the watchdog from expiring while
the core memory is being dumped to a IDE drive. The SCSI dadump()
does not use wdog_tickler.

your hardware watchdog driver will have to set the varible wdog_tickler
to your watch dog tickler routine, or a generic routine if multiple watchdog
timers could be supported in one machine.
