Unfortuantely no, for me to get netconsole on top of nbcon, I need to
address a few dependencies:

1) Get the memleak fixed, given this is conflicting with the next item
   * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250918-netconsole_torture-v5-0-77e25e0a4eb6@xxxxxxxxxx/

2) Decouple netconsole from netpoll
   * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250902-netpoll_untangle_v3-v1-0-51a03d6411be@xxxxxxxxxx/#t

3) Convert the target_list_lock to RCU, to avoid having to disable IRQ
   at netconsole side.

4) Move netconsole to nbcon.

Given that these are "core" changes, I would prefer to get, at least, 3)
and 4) into the next (6.19) merge window.

Thanks for asking,
