I know, but shouldn't wrong watchdog modules fail to load? Or at least 
shouldn't successful modules leave some message in syslog? The way it is now, 
you could only do guessing what watchdog I have and what module is connected to 
/dev/watchdog, right? I feel the interface could be improved:
# find /sys /proc -iname watch\*
/sys/devices/virtual/misc/watchdog
/sys/class/misc/watchdog
/proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
/proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh

A "name" entry would be quite helpful.

Will try.
