1) The Linux kernel community convention is t use 'reply all' so that a copy
goes back to the list, so that all may read, learn, and comment...

2) If you're hanging a CPU with something for long enough to trigger a watchdog
event, you've *already* *broken* real-time processing on that CPU.

Read that second sentence again, and repeat until it sinks in.

If the watchdog is firing for a CPU because you've been running a tight loop
on it for *that* long, *that CPU is by definition not able to do realtime in a Linux
context*.
