On a somewhat related note: We noticed recently that you can't pet or disable 
the IPMI hardware watchdog once SCHEDULER_STOPPED() is true.  This means it can 
fire unexpectedly while you're dumping core or rebooting, depending on how long 
the timeout was on the pet before the panic.  The ipmi driver will need to 
process the command differently if the scheduler is stopped.  I haven't had 
time to look at a fix yet.
