apport-kerneloops reporting

[Brian Murray]

I've recently made some changes to kerneloops and apport which modify
the way that kerneloops are reported.

In kerneloops there is now a filter so that any Oops with the word
WARNING in it is not sent to apport for reporting this should
significantly reduce the quantity of apport-kerneloops bug reports you
receive.

The linux package hook for apport will now also tag apport-kerneloops
bug reports using a format of 'kernel-driver-$drivername' if it detects
a driver name in the RIP / IP line.  For example,
http://launchpad.net/bugs/814460 is tagged kernel-driver-i915.  I also
went through and tagged all existing Oops reports the same way and sent
Leann a list of the tags that were used.

Looking at the current list of apport-kerneloops reports from Oneiric[1]
I have one suggestion and one question.

Suggestion:

The importance of these bug reports should be automatically set to at
least High by whatever script does automatic triage.

A question or two:

I noticed there are a few NETDEV WATCHDOG bug reports in the list.

1) Are these worth reporting?

2) If so it seems to me the driver appears in a regular format so that
we could tag them kernel-driver-atl1c.  Would that help?

Please include me in your replies as I'm not subscribed to the kernel
team mailing list.
