Watchdog is not turned off in kernel panic situation. In certain systems this might prevent the successful loading of kdump kernel. The kdump kernel might hit a watchdog reset while it is booting. To avoid such scenarios add a panic notifier call back function which can stop the watchdog. This provision can be enabled by passing watchdog.stop_on_panic=1 via kernel command-line parameter.
