Err... wasn't this provoked by an attempt to fix the LDP issue, that is
(I believe) because the boot loader enables the watchdog and pre-hwmod
kernels used to disable it.  Post-hwmod kernels stopped disabling the
watchdog, resulting in a few seconds booting userspace before the system
resets itself.
