For start(), I dunno. I don't have enough experience with watchdog drivers to
judge if this is acceptable, although I'd think so. For stop(), a few drivers
already activate a timer to keep the watchdog happy; such a mechanism should
definately go into the core. It's in my todo-list, but I won't be angry if
someone is faster ;)
