Actually it turns out that even an initscript which runs early cannot
run early enough since qcontrol lives in /usr/sbin and so requires
$remote_fs which in turns means it comes after fsck, which I think you
have correctly identified as the most likely cause of delays on boot
which might exceed the timeout.
I'm going to investigate adding the watchdog disablement as an initramfs
hook, doing it after mounting the rootfs but before switching to it.
