Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] powerpc/watchdog: introduce a NMI watchdog's factor

Introduce a factor which would apply to the NMI watchdog timeout.

This factor is a percentage added to the watchdog_tresh value. The value is
set under the watchdog_mutex protection and lockup_detector_reconfigure()
is called to recompute wd_panic_timeout_tb.

Once the factor is set, it remains until it is set back to 0, which means
no impact.

Looks okay. We could worry about making it more generic or nicer if
another user came along.

Could you make the naming a bit more self documenting?
watchdog_nmi_set_timeout_pct(), maybe? Does the wd really care
that it is for LPM in particular?

Variables and parameters could have a _pct suffix too.

Otherwise

You're right, the name should not mention lpm.
For my information, what does "pct" stand for?

I'll do that.
