+ The HPE iLO NMI Watchdog driver is a kernel module that provides basic
  watchdog functionality and the added benefit of NMI sourcing. Both the
  watchdog functionality and the NMI sourcing capability need to be enabled
  by the user. Remember that the two modes are not dependent on one another.
  A user can have the NMI sourcing without the watchdog timer and vice-versa.
+ All references to iLO in this document imply it also works on iLO2 and all
+ subsequent generations.
 
  Watchdog functionality is enabled like any other common watchdog driver. That
  is, an application needs to be started that kicks off the watchdog timer. A
  basic application exists in the Documentation/watchdog/src directory called
  watchdog-test.c. Simply compile the C file and kick it off. If the system

+ allow_kdump - allows the user to save off a kernel dump image after an NMI.

  nowayout    - basic watchdog parameter that does not allow the timer to
                be restarted or an impending ASR to be escaped.
- priority    - determines whether or not the hpwdt driver is first on the
-               die_notify list to handle NMIs or last. The default value
-               for this module parameter is 0 or LAST. If the user wants to
-               enable NMI sourcing then reload the hpwdt driver with
-               priority=1 (and boot with nmi_watchdog=0).
+               Default value is set when compiling the kernel. If it is set
+               to "Y", then there is no way of disabling the watchdog once
+               it has been started.
 
  NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl
        interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in
        Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt and Documentation/IPMI.txt.
 
- The priority parameter was introduced due to other kernel software that relied
- on handling NMIs (like oprofile). Keeping hpwdt's priority at 0 (or LAST)
- enables the users of NMIs for non critical events to be work as expected.
-
  The NMI sourcing capability is disabled by default due to the inability to
  distinguish between "NMI Watchdog Ticks" and "HW generated NMI events" in the
  Linux kernel. What this means is that the hpwdt nmi handler code is called
  each time the NMI signal fires off. This could amount to several thousands of
  NMIs in a matter of seconds. If a user sees the Linux kernel's "dazed and
  confused" message in the logs or if the system gets into a hung state, then
- the hpwdt driver can be reloaded with the "priority" module parameter set
- (priority=1).
