Hey Thomas, I was debugging something and stumbled across this.

IIRC the issue was that there some weirdness on a series of new AMD systems and
unfortunately the watchdog would fire and switch clocksources on me :(  That
resulted in me not being able to debug the HW because the clocksource I wanted
was no longer available.
