currently we configure/pet the watchdog from user space via /dev/ipmi0 device interface and I would like to do the pet part from kernel module.
That's actually defeating the purpose. If you do it from the kernel, you keep the watchdog from detecting a whole set of hangs that can cause userspace to wedge up.
