netconsole does not depend on a specific processor architecture.

There should be no relevant differences. If  you  check  which  files
contain  NC  specific  code  you  will  see that there is no hardware
dependend code involved:

	-> find * -type f | xargs egrep -l CONFIG_NETCONSOLE
	common/devices.c
	drivers/netconsole.c
	include/devices.h
	include/configs/TQM860L.h
	net/net.c

But I haven't run any tests on ARM myself (I think it was  tested  on
the "trab" board, but I may be wrong).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
