@xnox: How do you tell if there is no live lock and it is operating fine
despite it timed out on a 3 minute timer?

If we drop the watchdog we won't get any new journal entries if it
enters/tricked into an infinite loop. I don't think that would be wise.

There are upstream bugs with too little information for similar issues:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2899
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2924

@xnox Do you have links with enough info for debugging?
