so I tried to implement the /dev/watchdog handling inside systemd itself,
but I'm not sure where to put it.
I think it could be done as a unit. However, that would be a new type and
there will only ever be one, so I'm not so sure this is the right way to do
it. A unit would be nice to provide all the infrastructure: enable/disable,
configuration, unit timer, etc.
If not, the configuration could come from the global config file, cmdline
and kernel cmdline, but the rest?
So, to those of you that have a better understanding of the internal design
of systemd: what's the best way to do this?

Regards,
Michael Olbrich
