Thanks Andrey. The structure of this patchset is very nice, and I'm
finding it very easy to read, at least the first half.

The differences (in yours and Oren's) between checkpointing and
restarting yourself or another task should probably not be important
as people will want to be able to do both in the end, and I'm sure
both patchsets can do both. And you have things like your own
printk helpers in patch 3 that, just as in Oren's set, will have to
go away. But I'm not yet able to see what the real differences are.

Keeping on looking...
