[PATCH] [RESENDING] netconsole: register cmdline netconsole configs to configfs

2008-02-11 Thread Joonwoo Park
This patch intorduces cmdline netconsole configs to register to configfs
with dynamic netconsole. Satyam Sharma who designed shiny dynamic
reconfiguration for netconsole, mentioned about this issue already.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/29/360)
But I think, without separately managing of two kind of netconsole target
objects, it's possible by using config_group instead of
config_item in the netconsole_target and default_groups feature of configfs.

Patch was tested with configuration creation/destruction by kernel and
module.
And it makes possible to enable/disable, modify and review netconsole
target configs from cmdline.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave review of this to someone who is
clueful about configfs. But it seems reasonable.
