Subject: [PATCH 0/0] Panic on softdog timeout

Hi.

We currently have no way of determining the reason for failure when a 
softdog timeout occurs. At the minimum a snapshot of the system would 
help to determine the cause.
The attached patch invokes panic on softdog timeout iff kdump is 
configured, if kdump is not configured it works as usual.
