I have a guest that keeps crashing and want to automatically reboot it when it crashes. See:

if you want to look at the details on the crashing.
If your guest's state is corrupted, you can't rely on its behavior. For that reason, you should set up a watchdog and only rely on the panic behavior as a preliminary measure.
I figured that I had setup a watchdog with the hung_task_panic=1 guest parameter. Is there another way of setting up a watchdog in this case?
