Recommended watchdog device for OpenBSD running as a KVM guest

Hi all,

I wanted to add a watchdog timer that would reset my VMs if they hang or
stop responding. I managed to enable an Intel 6300ESB ICH watchdog,
however I note it isn't being picked up by the ichwdt driver:

Looking around, I see this is a known issue.

Is there a known working watchdog interface that QEMU supports
emulating? Alternatively, how can I help with ichwdt?

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
