Cool - looks good !

Would this compile without CONFIG_NET ?  without CONFIG_NET_NS ?

How can a user ask to not checkpoint the network-ns ?  (e.g. in
a subtree checkpoint)

And a few minor comments inline...

Maybe be a bit more verbose about what's missing ?

Is there a reason not to collect all addresses into one buffer (can
there be more than a page worth of them ?) and write in one go ?

While this is correct, perhaps be more verbose and change to:
        else if (strncmp(dev->name, "veth", 4) == 0)

and then
        } else {
                /* error */
        }

If this can only happen due to a bug, then BUG_ON(). Otherwise,
maybe use ckpt_err() ?
