I was trying to change the semantics of how touch_nmi_watchdog worked to cover a corner case where endless console writing would block the watchdog from going off.
Ingo recommended that I add ratelimiting to the panic code to in case we get a slew of locked up cpus, hence my first patch in the series.
Cheers, Don
