Yeah, no, I see what's up. I missed that whole wd_last vs cs_last
pairing. I guess that part is all good. There are other crazy issues
in there, though, like the double test of 'watchdog_reset_pending'. So
I still wonder, though, since that odd 96-second delta is just insane
and makes no sense from a TSC standpoint (it's closer to a 32-bit
overflow of a hpet counter, but that sounds off too).
