LGTM, thanks - much simpler than the old watchdog-threads-in-PMDAs plan.

Tests qa/{023,244,326,340} are failing now though, could you take a look
into those?

The required fixes there might be as simple as providing a mechanism to
disable the auto-restart to allow testing pmcd/PMDA timeouts and other
aspects of pmcd behaviour as before, from a quick look.

cheers.
