Documentation is provided by Linux Kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg?id=refs/tags/v3.12

> priority/sequence number/time stamp/text?

And "text" can be dissected too, because there can be more then one
line, first line seems to be always "human readable text", next are
similar (the same) as "udev" events (SUBSYSTEM=*; DEVICE=*)
My idea is:
libpcap goal: capture kernel logs, it is important context info
Wireshark goal: filterable kernel logs, for example timestamp delta
0.4s and character device with major < 196.
