With the help of Frederic's watchdog patch, i now have an ftrace

Unfortunately it's rather short, due to the recent shrinking of the
default ftrace buffer sizes.
Which makes me wonder ... maybe there's a connection?
Also, the time deltas look very weird. Either 0 or 1 msec. That's
characteristic of a sched_clock() that has fallen back to a jiffies
clocksource.
