This is useful, because it minimises the work needed to get them going
over other transports, such as Myrinet.  I'd rather not see the UDP
encapsulation go away.  Netconsole is already messy enough to configure
and deal with; Matt Mackall's 2.6 forward port, that makes configuration
more IP-oriented instead of less, is a step in the right direction.
