"* When the first stage(the half timeout) is reached, WS0 interrupt is
  * triggered, at this moment the second watch period starts;
  * In the WS0 interrupt routine, panic will be triggered for saving the
  * system context.
  * If the system is getting into trouble and cannot be reset by panic or
  * restart properly by the kdump kernel(if supported), then the second
  * stage (the timeout) will be reached, system will be reset by WS1."
