Add Network Sysrq Support

In some circumstances, a system can hang/lockup in such a way that the
system is completely unresponsive to keyboard or console input but is
still responsive to ping.  The config option, CONFIG_SYSRQ_PING, builds
net/ipv4/sysrq-ping.ko which allows a root user to configure the system
for a remote sysrq.

Cool work, Prarit! Now we have remote sysrq!

I am just wondering why the module is in net/ipv4/sysrq-ping.c?
Not drivers/net/sysrq-ping.c? or perhaps net/core/sysrq-ping.c?
I understand it only supports IPv4 now, but we can add IPv6 support,
can't we? ;)

Thanks!
