Do not attach (thread) your patchsets to some other threads (unrelated
or older versions). This buries them deep in the mailbox and might
interfere with applying entire sets. See also:

Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

Not much improved. My questions how this petting is suppose to work
remain unanswered.

Again, system load is really not relevant whether watchdog works or not
in low power mode.
