Linux's netconsole works much better when you can pass it the MAC address of the server. (otherwise it just uses broadcast, which everyone else on my network complains about :)
This sets the evn var "serveraddr" (to match ethaddr), so that you can pass it to linux with whatever bootargs you want to....
addnetconsole=set bootargs $(bootargs) netconsole=@$(ipaddr)/eth0,@$(serverip)/$(serveraddr)

this has to go through Ben and his tree.
Note though that I don't think this is intended for inclusion yet - mind the "RFC" part in the subject.
I guess - what is the "reasonable" amount of time to wait for a comment before I just resend with a [PATCH] subject line?
