164		0x00800000 - 0xxxxxxxxx rootfs		(All left)

166III. Watchdog support
167
168	For security reasons, the at91 watchdog is running at boot time and,
169	if deactivated, cannot be used anymore.
170	If you want to use the watchdog, you will need to keep it running in
171	your code (make sure not to disable it in AT91Bootstrap for instance).
172
173	In the U-Boot configuration, the AT91 watchdog support is enabled using
174	the CONFIG_WDT and CONFIG_WDT_AT91 options.
