(Way) back when I was working with OpenEmbedded/Ångström I dreamt up sth like this: make uboot/whatever set up a HW watchdog that is retriggered once from kernel mode and then in the userspace as ususal. The daunting task would've been to implement the (platform specific) watchdog in the bootloader. Looking now, there is support for at least some platforms - nice! Good luck with Mender - I'm sure you are badly needed!
