Unrelated. If you want to add debug messages, please do it
in a separate patch.

Unnecessary ( )

The actual timeout can be a value smaller than 9 seconds.
Minimum is 1 second. What happens if the user configures
a timeout of less than 9 seconds as well as a pretimeout ?
Will it fire immediately ?

Please no ongoing logging noise. This can easily be abused to clog
the kernel log.

	pretimeout = !!val;
