The s390 specific diag288_wdt watchdog driver makes use of the virtual
watchdog timer, which is available in most machine configurations.
If executing the diagnose instruction with subcode 0x288 results in an
exception the watchdog timer is not available, otherwise it is available.
In order to allow module autoload of the diag288_wdt module, move the
detection of the virtual watchdog timer to early boot code, and provide
its availability as a cpu feature.
This allows to make use of module_cpu_feature_match() to automatically load
the module iff the virtual watchdog timer is available.
