-------------------------+------------------------------
When debugging without a serial port, network-based output would provide
an alternative to re-typing screen output or taking pictures.
As a proof of concept this patch adds UDP-based syslog-ng support (5424,
RFC5426) to the boot loader. While UDP is potentially lossy,
unidirectional broadcast of datagrams avoids server discovery/selection
and it avoids a dependency on still-pending TCP support patches (#5240).
Output starts once the network stack is initialized - on ppc currently
only when network-booting, before searching for boot volumes - and with
#6166 patches until the last malloc() for kernel ELF sections.
