Hi,

it seems i6300esb is only watchdog usable on qemu-kvm. There's also some
ib700 but it is ISA device and diag288 which is applicable only to IBM s/390 and
zSeries.

Should I give a try to i386 with rebuilt kernel? i6300esb is also default 
watchdog
in RHV[1]/oVirt but I doubt anybody uses OpenBSD on it except me sporadically :)
