NACK to this. The guest panick notification is a completely
separate mechanism to the guest watchdog device. We should not
be overloading watchdog actions for panick handling.

Guest panic handling is defined for Xen via the <on_crash>...</on_crash>
lifecycle action, and we should use this same syntax for KVM.
