In my opinion, calling panic() on a pre-timeout is not useful, because that's really just a normal timeout. If there were a way to "warn" user space that a timeout is about to occur, without a panic or reset, then that might be useful. But as far as I can see, all you're doing is redefining the word "timeout".
