First, you are missing a proper "Signed-off-by: " tag in your
patch submissions.

Second, you should not do this because now the lines after the
first won't have the default loglevel prepended.

I think this should just be left alone, and you should properly
mark your netconsole logs so that you can discern which machine
the individual messages come from so you can piece them together
properly if you need to.
