This patch contains the following changes.

To add port dynamically, create "add" element in /sys/class/misc/netconsole.

ex)
   echo "@/eth0,@192.168.0.1/" > /sys/class/misc/netconsole/add
   then the port is added with the settings sending kernel messages
   to 192.168.0.1 using eth0 device.

 |-+- netconsole/
   |--- add       [-w-------]  If you write parameter(network interface name
   |                           or one config parameter of netconsole), The
   |                            port related its config is added
