More or less :)

I'd calculate the uname_len here if the option was set.

And then try to fold the path with uname into this. So that we don't
have to separate exit points for the "message is short enough".

And once done prepping I'd add uname_len to header_len

Last but not least, I do agree with Stephen that this can be
configurable with sysfs at runtime, no need to make it a Kconfig.
