No, the idea was that if the kernel ever supports different rseq ABI
sizes on registration (it could as there's a size argument to the rseq
system call), that needs to be communicated to CRIU, so that it restores
with the right size.

I haven't thought about whether it makes sense to make the ptrace
argument struct extensible.

Thanks,
Florian
