At this point we still have a timer tick every second. So just change the way the checking occurs that it can be done during the once per second tick for now? If the tick idle period is expanded later maybe only run the watchdog activity during those inevitable ticks?
It may be best if the watchdog could be configured as to which processors it should run on?
