sys-apps/baselayout: set kernel.watchdog_thresh sysctl to 10 seconds

 # Look in /proc/sys/ for all the things you can setup.

is this communicated through kernel command line? 

If so, will this result in both options present in all command lines? Would it
be better to make this conditional and kernel version specific?

Just a thought, if other reviewers do not mind - lgtm.
