This is the combined repost of the following two patches with only minor updates - warning message and comments added as suggested by Andrew. I think it'd be best to route the changes through -mm.

This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log information which enables things like structured logging and detection of lost messages.
