Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC] Xen paravirtual watchdog device [0/4]

The XenLinux watchdog driver sets up the in-Xen watchdog for the current domain using a simple hypercall interface. The watchdog timer is implemented within Xen itself, isolating it from any guest bugs that might take out a normal software watchdog. Standard interfaces to userspace are supported so that any watchdog-aware software should be able to interact with it without modification.

Sounds like an excellent idea! I really need a box running unstable so I can test this (and other things) out! :)
