On further thought, I think it would be a bad idea to add this
functionality: It changes the userspace ABI for accessing the watchdog
device. Today, when a watchdog device is opened, it does not provide
read data, it does not hang, and returns immediately. A "cat" from it
is an easy and quick means to test if a watchdog works.
