[PATCH net-next 1/5] netconsole: introduce 'msgid' as a new sysdata field

[Gustavo Luiz Duarte]

This adds a new sysdata field to enable assigning a per-target unique id
to each message sent to that target. This id can later be appended as
part of sysdata, allowing targets to detect dropped netconsole messages.
Update count_extradata_entries() to take the new field into account.
