- *	To enable Watchdog function:

- *	    This setting enables SMI to clear the watchdog expired flag.
- *	    If BIOS or CPU fail which may cause SMI hang, then system will

- *	    application has to take over the control from SMI.
- *
- *	    For P3TSSE, J36 jumper needs to be removed to enable the Watchdog
- *	    function.
- *
- *	    Note: The system will reboot when Expire Flag is set TWICE.
- *	    So, if the watchdog timer is 20 seconds, then the maximum hang

- *	Vendor Support: 911
- *	Board: Some Intel ICHx based motherboards
- *	iTCO chipset: ICH7+
- *
- *	Some Intel motherboards have a broken BIOS implementation: i.e.
- *	the SMI handler clear's the TIMEOUT bit in the TC01_STS register
- *	and does not reload the time. Thus the TCO watchdog does not reboot
- *	the system.
- *
- *	These are the conclusions of Andriy Gapon <avg@icyb.net.ua> after
- *	debugging: the SMI handler is quite simple - it tests value in
- *	TCO1_CNT against 0x800, i.e. checks TCO_TMR_HLT. If the bit is set
- *	the handler goes into an infinite loop, apparently to allow the
- *	second timeout and reboot. Otherwise it simply clears TIMEOUT bit
- *	in TCO1_STS and that's it.
- *	So the logic seems to be reversed, because it is hard to see how
- *	TIMEOUT can get set to 1 and SMI generated when TCO_TMR_HLT is set
- *	(other than a transitional effect).
- *
- *	The only fix found to get the motherboard(s) to reboot is to put
- *	the glb_smi_en bit to 0. This is a dirty hack that bypasses the
- *	broken code by disabling Global SMI.
- *
- *	WARNING: globally disabling SMI could possibly lead to dramatic
- *	problems, especially on laptops! I.e. various ACPI things where
- *	SMI is used for communication between OS and firmware.
- *
- *	Don't use this fix if you don't need to!!!
