Subject: [PATCH v2 21/23] netoops: Add user programmable fields to the netoops
	packet.

In our environment, it is important for us to capture motherboard name,
firmware version and boot number for consideration when analyzing netoops
dumps.

We collect this information in userland at system startup (in platform
specific ways) and plug this information into the netoops driver via
files available in sysfs.

Files introduced:
  /sys/kernel/netdump/netdump_board_name
  /sys/kernel/netdump/netdump_fw_version
  /sys/kernel/netdump/netdump_boot_id

If this were to be rewritten, we would probably like to have a more
general way for userland to add to netdump packets.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@...gle.com>

TODO: This would probably be better handled by having the kernel accept
some blob of data.  It doesn't need to know what the data itself is, as
long as it is delivered in each packet.
