Event logging in general, so far, seems to me more like a management checklist item than a real user need... but I am quite willing to be proved wrong.  Until we get feedback along these lines, I tend to resist changes like this in general.  My initial read of your attached patch was that it was a long of source churn, and I couldn't fathom what any user would gain from it
make that "a lot of"

There are a whole bunch of netif_msg_xxx and corresponding NETIF_MSG_xxx bits.  I don't see much need to change that I think getting the logging API right for those would be an important first step.
