netconsole: Append kernel version to message

Browse source

Create a new netconsole runtime option that prepends the kernel version in
the netconsole message. This is useful to map kernel messages to kernel
version in a simple way, i.e., without checking somewhere which kernel
version the host that sent the message is using.

If this option is selected, then the "<release>," is prepended before the
netconsole message. This is an example of a netconsole output, with
release feature enabled:

	6.4.0-01762-ga1ba2ffe946e;12,426,112883998,-;this is a test
