Request for DLT for Linux Kernel Messages

[Michal Labedzki <michal.labedzki () tieto com>]

Hello,

I would like to ask about possibility to add DLT value for Linux
Kernel Messages. Is it possible or not?

I previously show ready libpcap implementation [1], also I have ready
implementation for Wiredshark. (in short: on Linux Kernel >3.4 it is
able to dump via /dev/kmsg, also inject).
Linux kernel message have packet structure (one log/event = one
packet) and it is really useful by analysing system behaviour or
Bluetooth kernelspace used by userland.

Also may be interested to create special DLT (like Wireshark Upper
PDU) for event based capture sources like:
1. Linux Kernel Messages (/dev/kmsg)
2. Android Logcat (Logger - like "adb logcat -B")
3. Udev messages (I thinking about capture like "udevadm monitor")
4. syslog
...
N. Completely amazing idea for now: capture audio (arecord -l; arecord
hw:0,1; in short: "source as interface to dump")
etc.

- this contain requested DLT in code to show functionality
