+# from running. the mechanism depends on the cpus ability to respond to timer
+# interrupts which are needed for the 'watchdog/n' threads to be woken up by
+# the watchdog timer function, otherwise the nmi watchdog - if enabled - can

+# brought online, the watchdog will be started based on the mask value.
+#
