Definitely nice feature, but i have a question for [1],
won't it cause slow responsive guests (on highly loaded hosts)
to constantly reboot?

i.e it's understood that 'reboot' is a goal of this feature,
but endless reboot of pinned-to-host guests for instance
won't do any good right?,

my point is: should watchdog 'action' have extra logic
for guest-policy like placement for instance?

[1] <watchdog model="i6300esb" action="reset"/>
