                Default value is set when compiling the kernel. If it is set
                to "Y", then there is no way of disabling the watchdog once
                it has been started.
+ kdumptimeout  Minimum timeout in seconds to apply upon receipt of an NMI
+               before calling panic. (-1) disables the watchdog.  When value
+               is > 0, the timer is reprogrammed with the greater of
+               value or current timeout value.
