This interface provides some registers within a 32-byte range and can be
acessed through PCI-to-LPC bridge interface (PMBASE + 0x60).
It's commonly used as a watchdog timer to detect system lockups through
SMIs that are generated -- if TCO_EN bit is set -- on every timeout. If
NO_REBOOT bit is not set in GCS (General Control and Status register),
the system will be resetted upon second timeout if TCO_RLD register
wasn't previously written to prevent timeout.
This patch adds support to TCO watchdog logic and few other features
like mapping NMIs to SMIs (NMI2SMI_EN bit), system intruder detection,
etc. are not implemented yet.
