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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
