Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 -mm 5/9] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_target

Hi Satyam,

> [5/9] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_target
> 
> Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets

> further patches.
> 
> The original patchset did this along with (and inside the #ifdef) of
> CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC itself. I decided otherwise, and was able to
> drastically cut down on the #ifdef-complexity of final netconsole.c.
> Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for multiple targets
> support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability. Previously these
> two things were coupled, but I want to de-link that (more on this later).
