Depends on what you want to do. Normally it's sufficient to make sure
one top-level application process is  running,  so  a  normal  device
driver  is sufficient - see for instance drivers/char/wdt_mpc8xx.c in
our kernel source tree.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way  is  to
make  it  so  simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the
other is to make it so complicated that there are  no  obvious  defi-
ciencies.                             - Charles Anthony Richard Hoare
