Well I am a little lost :)
The tty CR can be "reasonably" done in userspace I think. But it was
done in the kernel, no ?

Yep, I agree. But you didn't answer the question, what are the network
resources you plan to checkpoint / restart ?
eg. you let the container to setup your network, will you restore netdev
statistics ? the mac address ? ipv4 ? ipv6 ?
Is it possible to do a detailed list of network resources you plan to CR
with the different items you will address from userspace and kernel space ?

You may have some problems with the connected sockets you will restore
in this case.

Argh ! I was hoping there was something else than the source code :)
