netconsole itself is optional & modular.  I'm not sure making further
splits is called for, especially given the use cases.

It could be a hidden option, selected by its users (e.g. netconsole).

Hmmm... what do you mean?

config PRINTK_BITS_THAT_NETCONSOLE_NEEDS

(no help text or prompt)

config NETCONSOLE
    select PRINTK_BITS_THAT_NETCONSOLE_NEEDS

That would ensure that the bits added to printk don't get compiled in
unless CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=y.
