Why is this file in include/linux/ if you only ever call it from one .c
file?

I thought we already had a watchdog for all of this, why not just always
add this to that code, for that config option?

And why isn't the watchdog sufficient for you?  Why are you "open
coding" a watchdog timer logic here at all???
