With netpoll_setup() and the packet-building path now living in netconsole, local_ip, remote_ip and ipv6 in struct netpoll are read and written only by netconsole. No other netpoll user touches them. Move the three fields into netconsole_target and switch the packet builders and setup helpers to take the target instead of the netpoll handle. struct netpoll is left holding only the device-binding state that the shared netpoll transport needs.
