Doesn't your watchdog trigger an NMI you can use to print the panic?

ISTR some people (hi Don!) spending quite a lot of time to make this
work for some other platforms.

IIRC those things would fire an NMI at some point and then hard-reset
the machine not much later.. the difficulty was detecting this
'unclaimed' nmi and allowing drivers to register for it.

NMI_UNKNOWN and unknown_nmi_panic are the result of that.
