Linux supports the virtual watchdog timer through the "wdat_wdt" module.
In Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on amd64, this module is in the
"linux-modules-extra-*-generic" series of packages. These are depended on by
the "linux-image-generic" package, but not by the "linux-image-virtual"
package. The latter is what is included in Ubuntu Official Cloud Images.
Installing "linux-image-virtual" on amd64 should get the "wdat_wdt" module
because it's necessary to fully support a common hypervisor. And to be
consistent, we should do the same for other architectures too.
