Which could mean two things, either ACPI got funny on us, or Don's new
watchdog stuff has a hole in it.

That change seems sensible enough..

These other two really are about assumptions we make on the call sites,
which at the very least are violated by ACPI.

Don/Ingo, remember if we require touch_*_watchdog callers to have
preemption disabled? Or is the proposed patch sensible?
