Hmm, a notifier seems the wrong approach here, because we really want
to handle all reboot_notifiers before actually rebooting, and we'd enter
the wdt driver at a random point in the notifier chain. It probably works
by chance if the watchdog reboots a second after its notifier is called,
and all other calls are done as well, but it doesn't seem like a clean
solution.
