Wow, this is great!  I tried it out on a few RELENG_4 boxes and it
works as expected 

wdog0 on motherboard
isab0: Found Intel 82801DB watchdog device

Are there any plans to incorporate this into the 5.x and 4.x source
tree ?   This would be useful to a lot of people.

I've tested it with 4.9 and 5.2.1 on a Supermicro P4SGE motherboard and would be grateful for any suggestions, comments, bug reports, or complaints!  :)  If there is sufficient interest (and once I've gotten some comment on the structure and inner workings of this driver), I'd also like to write a driver for the AMD-8000 series chipset.
