This package selectively load the sbsa_gwdt watchdog, which is necessary
with certain platforms but blacklisted by default per kernel policy
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1432837/comments/6).
Without it, The Nvidia DGX Spark will reboot after 10 min of uptime, all
the time.

However blacklisted kernel modules can still be loaded with modprobe.
This is a service that takes the modalias, looks for "NVIDIA_DGX_SPARK"
into it, and modprobes the watchdog if it finds it.
