This does not only enable the watchdog by default, but also changes the
timeout from 5 seconds to 5 *minutes*!

Even if that is a good idea in some cases, we'd at least have to make the
timeout configurable. Developers will not appreciate having to wait for 5
minutes for their lockups to produce useful trace output.
