So as Guenter rightly pointed out my original patch meant that we'd hang 
if we got stuck in a loop with interrupts disabled. Shortly after that 
that's exactly what happened on my test setup.

I've now been able to follow-up on the idea of using one of the spare 
global timers as a pretimeout indication and it's looking pretty 
promising. The patch is below (beware MUA wrapping). I'll submit it 
properly but I'm wondering if I should add the timer1 based watchdog as 
a separate watchdog device or like I have below roll it into the 
existing watchdog device.
