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.
