[PATCH 1/9] Introduce trivial sys_checkpoint and sys_restore system calls

Andrey Mirkin
2008-09-03T10:55:56Z

Right now they just return -ENOSYS. Later they will provide functionality
to checkpoint and restart a container.

Both syscalls take as arguments a file descriptor and flags.
Also sys_checkpoint take as the first argument a PID of container's init
(later it will be container ID); sys_restart takes as the first argument
a container ID (right now it will not be used).
