[PATCH v3 21/22] netoops: Add user-programmable boot_id

From: Mike Waychison
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 16:31:36 EST


Add support for letting userland define a 32bit boot id. This is useful
for users to be able to correlate netoops reports to specific boot
instances offline.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changelog:
- v3
- boot_id is always little-endian on the network.
- This patch adds a dependency on sysfs. Declare the dependency in
the Kconfig.
