Perhaps a config option?   The same function/inline/macro could be put
in the code, but de-toothed as far as toggling, for those with a fancier
POST card.

Toggling aside, the original idea was, to point out there is one thing
which pokes "keepalive" info already, and perhaps it's just a matter of
directing that poke to include the TCO timer.

What is the longest amount of time between any two POST code updates?
The only think I can think of is ECC ram clearing.
