Watchdog in Nested VMs

[churnd]

I have a Proxmox v4 cluster set up on my Macbook Pro using VMware Fusion. I notice it doesn't support the watchdog timer:

root@pxcluster1:~# dmesg | grep watch
[    0.076175] NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu0): hardware events not enabled
[    0.076176] NMI watchdog: Shutting down hard lockup detector on all cpus

Is there a way to enable this on nested VMs?

or emulate a HW watchdog.

From 'man vm.conf':

watchdog: [[model=]i6300esb|ib700] [,[action=]reset|shutdown|poweroff|pause|debug|none]
Create a virtual hardware watchdog device. Once enabled (by a guest action), the watchdog must be
periodically polled by an agent inside the guest or else the guest will be restarted (or execute the action
specified)
