Thank you for the v6! It looks good to me:

Out of curiosity: the DSTIP is only set in the new netns, but I guess
that will be an issue if it is also set on the host (or elsewhere with
the same MAC address), hence this check here? (In any case, it sounds
safer, it can stay)

Skippig: is it because netconsole is vegetarian?

(no need for a v7 just for that of course ;) )
