They are actually I/O ports rather than SIO registers. SIO_PORT_2E and
SIO_PORT_4E (or SIO_CONF_PORT_*) would be better names to distinguish them
from SIO_REG_*.

This is confusing. How about:
/* set second mode & disable watchdog reload on keyboard reset */

Same here. How about:
/* reset status & disable watchdog reload on keyboard/mouse interrupts */

I noticed the 'addr' parameter in wdt_find() is unused. We could consider
removing it in a later cleanup patch.
