kdump is a special case, similar to the NMI button panic mode. It should be always only active when the user configured it. When the user configured it should be always the fallback and override any other drivers.
But watchdog is a special case. I assume the watchdog will just log (and do the work that a SMI should be doing) but then continue the chain so that kdump can dump on a watchdog timeout.
