ckpt-v15 branch per-se is a snapshot of the patchset as it was released.

ckpt-v15-dev is the development branch that is based on ckpt-v15, and is
probably what you want to use.

the userspace utilities are in the matching v15-dev in 'user-cr.git'.

True, no need to keep that dependency. Will remove.

Note, however, that we still don't handle the case where the contents of
the VDSO page(s) differ between checkpoint and restart time...  So it's
on the todo list to at least detect that the format changed.

That said, that will work in most cases, definitely on the same machine.

Oren.
