Yes, it would work perfectly fine with usecs, which is actually (and
unfortunately) the unit it uses in its ABI. But I think its better
to convert the values once during initialization, instead of again
and again when scheduling the watchdog. The necessary changes are
really trivial, all you need to do when changing the scaling factors
is to increase SM_MASK and decrease ISM_MASK accordingly.

Right! (On the other hand we could consider a separate watchdog too...)

We could :) But I don't see any benefit doing that, especially given
that eventually everything should be using ns resolution anyways.
