Is this for IPv4 ICMP only ?

No. pf_send_icmp() is called for both IPv4 and IPv6. So we would indeed end up adding IPv6 ICMP errors to the IPv4 rate limits.
We should probably use the IPv6 rate limit for v6 errors. That function wants the destination IP address, but happily doesn't actually use it, so we can just pass NULL.

I'll see if I can update the patch.

Use the IPv6 rate limit check for IPv6 icmp errors

That looks simple and good.

Relatedly BANDLIM_ICMP6_UNREACH is defined (sys/netinet/icmp_var.h) but never used (along with the associated struct icmp_rate entry in sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c)

Looks good to me.
