Add msgcounter to the netconsole_target struct to generate message IDs.
If the msgid_enabled attribute is true, increment msgcounter and append
msgid=<msgcounter> to sysdata buffer before sending the message.

This will eventually wrap. I am wondering if you should use the
overflow.h helpers to avoid warnings in UBSAN and friends.
Quick glanced over that filed, I found:
/**
* wrapping_add() - Intentionally perform a wrapping addition
* @type: type for result of calculation
* @a: first addend
* @b: second addend
*
* Return the potentially wrapped-around addition without
* tripping any wrap-around sanitizers that may be enabled.

This might be gone now, according to your last patch.,
LGTM.

Good point. I will send v2 using one of the overflow safe macros.
Thanks for reviewing!

Right, please wait until tomorrow afternoon (Pacific Time), then rebase
and repost. We will merge the net tree into net-next after we send the
pending fixes to Linus. Otherwise by the time we try to merge this it
will no longer apply..
