Don't I need to load some of the helper modules, or just the
nf_conntrack_ipv6 module, or perhaps only nf_defrag_ipv6 ?

Not with the entire patchset, just IPv6 conntrack is enough. Aith IPv6 NAT
the first packet of a connection must always be defragemented, independant
of an assigned helper.

When loading "nf_conntrack_ipv6" I run into issues.

When sending a fragmented UDP packet.  With these patches, the IPVS
stack will no longer see the fragmented packets, but instead see one
large SKB.  This will trigger a MTU path check in e.g.
ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6() and an ICMPv6 too big packet is send back.

 IPVS: ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6(): frag needed

Perhaps we could change/fix the MTU check in IPVS?
(This would also solve issues I've seen with TSO/GSO frames, hitting
this code path).

I guess this should use the same check as in IPv6 output, check
whether IP6CB(skb)->max_frag_size is != 0 and > MTU and only send
an ICMPv6 error in that case.
