This wasn't a good idea, if wdt_timeout is set using a module parameter 
to a wrong value we end up using this wrong value. Setting the default 
to a valid hardwired value and checking if the proposed value is valid 
using watchdog_init_timeout is obviously the way to go. I will rework 
that in v2.
