I'm ok with the revert., but I do want the revert message to talk
about *exactly* what broke.

I don't see the reported watchdog things, and I run systemd and I ran
these patches.

So it's not just "systemd uses this for a watchdog". It must be
something specific that made it trigger for some people and not
others, and it's that specific thing that we should document so that
we know why this simplification failed.
